LeRoy, I think you have something here. As we all know, "our attitude eventually determines our altitude."

Maybe ask a neighbor with a security cam if they have video of the poo-petrator?!

The responsible thing to do, is to let your dog poop on your OWN property, BEFORE you take them for a walk. Carry a baggie just in case of late-walk mishaps, and carry the poop with you, never leave it "for the return loop" because honestly - that just super rude to the person whose property you've chosen to deposit your trash. Even temporarily.

"Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity" (Hanlon's razor)

I tend to agree with the poster of the above quote. Undoubtedly there are some folks here in TV who would think nothing of doing such a thing (or in some cases even think it was funny) but overall I think the odds of this happening maliciously are pretty low. Fell off a golf cart--carrying two bags and dropped one accidentally--put it down to do something with Rover's leash, answer the phone, or whatever and then just forgot to pick it up--and so on. Any one of a number of such scenarios are probably more likely than a malicious or childish someone doing the deed.

If it repeats--then come up with a plan of action. Otherwise just drop it. Life is too short.

Yep. I have a dog, and I would never think to not carry the bag until I got home. Don't be lazy. If you think carrying the poop a few blocks is too unpleasant, buck up.

Life is short in general, even shorter for us old folks! I don't want to spend my last days thinking the worse of folks or being angry for any reason.

What the world needs now - is more cow bells - and more dog poop threads.

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

Ignorant and selfish. They picked up poop and put it in a bag. Someone who does not pick up poop and put it in a bag is ignorant and selfish. The comments are correct.

Then why walk at all? Fluffy can stay home and pee and poop to her hearts content and owner doesn't have to pick up or bag unless they want to, and no neighbor is impacted. Win, win, win!

Grew up with dogs. Had dogs for half my life. Kicked the addiction and now I am free. Keep off my lawn!

That is just selfish. You brought it from home (in the dog). Your responsibility to carry it the rest of the way, responsible dog owner!

Excellent! Probably hoping for rain to rash it into the sewers.
