While I appreciate you bagging up the pet waste, please finish your job by disposing it properly.

As stated earlier, more often than not, people are on a walk and pick it up on the way back because they don't want to carry it around. If they had such bad intentions, they wouldn't bring a bag to start with. Nice first post, btw, You may want to familiarize yourself with the search function.

As stated earlier, that excuse is just that, an excuse. Bag the poo to make yourself look responsible. Then go on your way and conveniently forget about it. Leave it for others to have to look at the disgusting bag of poop. Not very kind or respectful, even if you did happen to find it still waiting for you. And as you pass by you can say, " I wonder who left that there?"
And, as also stated earlier, it is your flying poop bag! You carry it until you can properly dispose of it! Don't leave without it.

The owner of said trash can had (cue the music) "A RING DOORBELL". That night, identifying the dog owner (they went house to house showing a photo til they identified him) they went back home and put together their response to this heinous crime. The next day Staples made a sale. They made large signs, photo of the accused throwing the baggy in the trash, another of the dog in full squat, with such slogans as "Why would I want your dog sh**" and I won't sh** in your can, please don't sh** in mine". I understand being a bit annoyed, but everyone, from the dog owner to the garbage can owner, seem to have lost all ability to behave in a civilized manner. So many things that are common today I would find impossible to believe twenty years ago.

Didn’t happen here - we do not have garbage cans, or trash bins.

Assumptions only hurting one person here, and it ain't me. Get out and enjoy life.

I see it quite often on the MMP between Bradford and the Colony area.

We once had a neighbor who another neighbor observed throwing his dog's poo-bag in the storm drain. That too isn't supposed to happen.

The folks that do this are the same as what they leave behind: bags of sh*t.

Don't worry about it too much, I'm sure whoever left it will "remember" where he/she left it one day soon and hurry back to get it and take it to their home. Like last night, the same person who walks three large dogs down our block every night without fail just after sunset, apparently was not anxious to have the two bags of poop, so as I was checking for a loose bulb in an outdoor porch light, I watched the dog walker discretely toss the bag under my neighbor's azalea bushes. I don't have much hope they will come back for it. This ever growing problem really has no answer. We can "discuss" it on blogs, we can "whine" about it endlessly, but people who do this are going to do it. I dread the approach of summer... no matter how large or how often they POST the "PLEASE do not put dog feces in the postal station trash containers"... those they called the "privileged" (some call them the "elites"), continue to fill the containers with what they would never consider putting in their own yards or in their own trash containers. So as the summer heats up, the aroma pool side is, at times, unbearable when no breeze is stirring. We've never figured out why the Villages administration encourages and advertising the pool-postal area as a "doggie doo dump" at all, but people seem to love it, come with up to 3 dogs at a time, in autos and on golf carts. I doubt things will ever change, who would even try ? Can you imagine writing "tickets" to people who can not even read the words "DO NOT"....LOL !

True, lol. You would think the minute they got back home they would immediately miss he smell and go right back for the bag so they can enjoy it...LOL ! Can't imagine leaving a bag of poop and not remember it ! It would only cause more anger and even become "dangerous", but wouldn't it be hilarious if someone followed them and returned the bag they accidentally dropped !

Some may think "blah, blah, what else is new", but for the more recent residents, this absolutely was a RARE occurrence 8 years ago and before. VERY RARE, and you NEVER saw people walking dogs and tossing the bags into the ponds, under other people's bushes and flowers, and into containers meant for WASTE PAPER at the postal stations. Things have changed, perhaps it's just from the population explosion, perhaps there have always been a certain percentage of people who do this, but we've lived in four states and different developments in those states, and NEVER have seen the pet "incidents" that go on here daily. We always let out dogs out in our yard to "take care of business", and, if they didn't "produce", they didn't get a walk ! Just like our children, if they didn't eat their dinner, no dessert that night, LOL !

Now that's a good "glass half full" attitude ! Bravo, I will try my best to bring that smile up when the odor at the pool gets very "rich" next July...LOL ! I'll try !

Wouldn't it be great if it was so unusual that no one even noticed ! ! Like it was 2010 again... oh, that's not possible...LOL ! But seriously, wouldn't it be wonderful if it was so rare it was never even mentioned on "bulletin boards" like this one ! We can only dream !

Hey! It's your dog poo! Pick it up and carry it to the proper disposal container. Don't leave it hoping that someone else will do you job for you.

Exactly, you got that one nailed, but, as we all know, some responsible person, or someone who just can't stand the odor any longer, will pick it up for them ! If you raised kids, you know the drill. IF the parents will pick up the clothes, shoes, bikes, etc. "left" wherever, the "kids" will certainly learn to do as they wish..."someone" will come along and be the responsible adult. Personally (and I am probably alone on this one), but I think it is rude to take it anywhere but to the dog owner's own home. I don't think it's appropriate to put it in any public waste container to "age" there and have some worker have to collect. But, that's not against the law so as long as it's "somebody else" to has to collect it, probably not a concern for most people !
