Dog Crap on Front Yard

But you could box up the deposit, attach the correct postage, and mail it! Never get near someone's mailbox (I was a 2000 US Census worker).

They'd STILL get you for sending toxic waste or something similar. I suspect there are certain things/substances that cannot legally be sent through the US mail.

I once put a sign up in my front yard where my neighbors dog was crapping and ripping up my seedlings. It said "This is a garden, not a doggie poop dumping ground" or something like that. Never named names but the neighbor got really pissed and wouldn't talk to me. So I went by and asked her what the problem was, and she mentioned the sign. I told her I had no idea it was her dog and never would have expected it. She was totally embarrassed, and not only did the doggy poop disappear from my front lawn but from all the neighbor's lawns too.

A neighbor has a neat sign. I am not certain if I can recite it exactly:

In this soil So hard and cold lies a little dog who pooped in my yard

Another sign on the same property cites a city ordinance pointing out a $250 fine for dog poop, and says "violators will be prosecuted".

well, for it to scan-- "So cold and hard"

How about:

In this ground, so hard and cold A dog's friend lies, or so I'm told. This owner was bad, and did not scoop. and so he paid, for his dog's poop.

It's not the dogs fault... it's the owners. Same with barking dogs, cats crapping in garden, etc.

I would laugh if the local police came and dug up your entire yard looking for some missing person.

But it's nice poetry.

Why not avoid the possibility of getting in trouble with the feds if you'd put it in their mailbox?

Just deposit it unwrapped outside their front door...

i.e. return it to the owner....
