Please dispose of your dog's waste!
I get tired of having to clean up the waste from the neighborhood's dogs from my lawn every day. There's nothing worse than running thru a fresh pile with the lawn mower. I know most of it is from dogs that are let out at night to make their mess (I'm talking about YOU, Mrs. Thiele!). The dogs roam around until they are done and then go home. Nice way to avoid the duty, lazybones!
I put up some signs in hopes that people would understand that I'm not happy about picking up after other people's dogs. They're even simple picture signs so that the Mexicans and other illiterates who walk by can understand them.
Yesterday I came home and found this nicely wrapped dog turd waiting for me, mere feet from one of the no dog fouling signs. I'm pretty sure this is a signal from one of the neighbors who hates me that my signs don't mean anything to him:

I didn't pick up the bag. I just left it there for the other dog walkers to see and wonder about. I also made a call to the Freehold PD to report malicious dumping in front of my house. They said that there was no way to identify who did it, and that I would have to get a picture or a video of the culprit in action for them to do anything. I checked my CCTV, but the camera isn't pointing that direction, so I had no evidence other than the bag. Can't dog poop be tested for DNA?
If anyone saw who left this 'gift' for me, please let me know via PM.
