You could always go down there one night with a camera and powerful flash to gather evidence, 
and tell em your photographing poo bags for the council cleanup team, and that might also explain all the wet wipes!

My dogs appear to do the same thing!

Ah yes, you mean rolling in fox poo, Ive yet to find out why some dogs including mine, do this, thereâs virtually no warning, he just suddenly throws himself down on it and rolls around on his back, so I then have to shampoo and hose him down in the garden

Small children can do the much sameâŚ
When I built our extension it included a new front entrance, and the first door you came to inside was a wet-room shower-toilet-basin where one could hose down a muddy child, easily lifted in without them touching the floor or anything else in the house.
However, it was never used for this, both our children kept out of the mud etc, unlike the small boy across the road who had inspired us.
A bit like the old joke about the tourist throwing confetti off the open-top double decker going around London.
Why are you doing this?
To keep the elephants away.
But there arenât any elephants here.
See, itâs working.

I dnât know about that, there seems to be a lot of them in Somerset.
Itâs the stuff of nightmares, if itâs fresh and worked into his fur, I would drive home with all the windows open even in a arctic blizzard

I am a dog owner and if my dog decides to go within the town or village limits it always gets picked up and either put into dog poo bins or taken home. Outside of these constraints I donât understand why dog owners canât move it with a stick into the bottom of a hedge out of the way anyone who may stand in it. or better still pick it up and take it home to dispose of. Fortunately I am able to walk my dog in the countryside more often than not but on the odd occasion he comes with into town with me for a bit of socialising I make sure he has done any business before we go to town. He is 6 years old now and has not disgraced himself once while in town.

Our neighbourâs dog sh*t in our garden. My wife said I should get a shovel and throw it over the fence into their garden.
Weâve still got dog sh*t in the garden and now the neighbour has my shovel.

If your neighbours dog craps on any part of your property in the street, grass verge for instance, take a photo of the dog and the owner if poss and give it to a dog warden, they will put the frighteners on the owner with court action.
Itâs better if youâre on friendly talking terms with your neighbour then you can sort it out amicably without resorting to street informer tactics which could result in an escalation of hostilities long-term.

Some dogs give their owners a bit of warning when they are about to have a Pony, they start hunting around and have to face Mecca or the magnetic North or something before they go, unfortunately my dog just stops dead and wallop, itâs on the pavement but usually right by someoneâs drive, often while the owner is washing his car , I always pick the poo up but itâs still bl**dy embarrassing ,

Do dogs like to â â â â in the same place? If I get it at the side of my property (grass verge) itâs usually near my side gate. Got official signs up, no fouling (council supplied) but of course the dogs canât read, the owners could be more considerate in, a) not letting it foul near the gate, b) actually picking up the mess.
Got a nice hedge around my property so canât see whatâs going on on the other side, the reason the hedge was put up to stop folk walking across the property, some with dogs and letting them foul on the driveway. The hedge also makes a nice leg cocking target, again always in the same place, that part is dying with the constance pee.
I wonât mention the cats, ho! I did earlier in this thread. 
Its the same old story of the minority spoiling it for everybody, if people done the decent thing and cleaned up after their dog, we wouldnât be having this conversation.
We always take 2 poo bags with us in case he has a second wind, particularly if heâs had some of my Donner Kebab with Chilli sauce the night before, and picking up your dogs poo is the right thing ,but why then throw it into the treeâs? if your going to leave the bag at all, which I donât condone, its better on the grass than swinging from a branch for months on end .
And yes their wee doesnât do the plants and bushes any good, our dog kept weeing up my wifeâs Hydrangea and the bush eventually died, so in order to save the dog from a bllcking I said it was probably slugs.

If there is a place used for repeated deposits, that is because it has become a âsignpostâ. Each visitor needs to leave their own calling card to keep in touch with the gang, or in some cases exert dominance.
A solution that can be simple and effective for weeks at a time is to establish your own dominance with your own scent; Jeyes fluid in generous quantities seems to be quite good, especially if it is where the rain canât wash it away.
This stopped the foxes from leaving gifts on my porch, marking the corners of the house and one particular sewer cover the vixens were very fond of.
The cleaner air and CCTV cameras night-time footage continue to show how effective this has been.
