...until you go to pick up the newspaper and find some ignoramus has left a bag of their dog's excrement on your driveway

yes, it has never happened before and, hopefully, will never happen again, but still a shock to the system first thing

Not defending whoever left it there, but they could have planned on picking it up on their loop back? There is no excuse for leaving it in someone’s driveway, but I have seen people leave the bag in a common area and pick it up on their return loop.

It probably fell out of their cart or something.

Friendly people don't jump to conclusions about their neighbors from one isolated (and frankly, a little bit weird) incident.

If you’re determined to find out who done it, find out which one of your neighbor’s dog likes to read.

Amazing!

You have this disgusting thing happen to you and there are still people jumping to the defense of the perpetrator: They planned to pick it up on their next lap, or it fell out of their golf cart.

Please! They are just ignorant and selfish and knew they couldn't be traced. Say it like it is.

Out of 150,000 folks 145,000 are fantastic (leave out ToTV participants and the ratio gets even better).

Well that's a load off my mind. I've had excrement left on my driveway and you're okay with that.

Exactly what proof do you need? The person knocking on my door and saying "It's a fair cop" while you listen in?

Why would someone go to the trouble of bagging it up only to leave it in your driveway. If they're intention was to leave it anywhere they would left it right where the dog left it.

Ask Taltarzac725, he found a lost poop under his hat!
