I can think of countless ways to violate private property secretly and without leaving a trace.

For example a group of teenagers decides to party in the backyard of a vacant house in a new construction area--what's the harm if they pick everything up? They can't imagine why anyone would care, and who will know?

They might say, there was no harm so why do you care....does that make it ok?

So, what will you do? Have your dog never leave the little yard? Doesn't sound much of a life for her.
