Don't know what to do about my neighbors they're terrorizing us

My wife and I have been living in our house almost 3 years. We got along with all the neighbors fine. About a month ago our neighbors adopted a huge dog. Dog poop started showing up daily in our front yard. Twice now I've caught the dog in the act and the owners just shrug and tell me it's not their yard when I ask them them to pick up after their dog. I called the police and they don't care and haven't done anything.

My wife and I have been trying to figure out what to do. We were thinking we'd go into their front yard in the middle of the night and poop in their yard so they'd know how it felt and hope they start cleaning up after their dog. I don't know what else to do. We're at a loss. Any suggestions?

Pooping in their yard is worth a try at the very least they deserve it 9

    Get a lawyer and sue them into the dark ages. Nothing hurts more than having to fork over money. Besides, it's legal and they can't do anything about it. Take pictures of the dog dropping a turd in your yard for proof. Because that will deny it was their dog. Also call animal control. I don't know of any town that does not have leash laws. A loose dog will get captured and taken to the pound. The people will normally have to pay to a fine and service charges to get the dog back. If it happens several times, the dog can be considered a nuisance and it taken away permanently.

    Just collect the dog shit that their pooch leaves in your yard and put it in their car of some other very obvious place.

    Make a "potato" gun load it with the shit and open fire on there house or car or catch them in a ambush.

    Find out where they work and mail it to them c/o there boss.

    Put it in the air intake for the intetior of there car.

    I could go in and on.

        If you can get the phone number of wife and know the names you call her and ask: can (husband name) look and see if he can find my wedding ring I think I lost it last time. If your not a woman get a trusted friend to do it or reverse and call husband. Use a burner phone.

        If they go on vacation open or break a window 2nd floor is best and put garden hose in window and turn on full.

        Craigslist or Backpage.... need I say more? They can be selling car or have yard sale. Don't say call just give address and say come early!

        If you can get in there cars leave incriminating "evidence" like panties or flowers. Works well with calling wife to say you can't find favorite panties.

        Do they own business? Yes? If it has drop ceiling the kind with panels put raw chicken up there it smells terrible when it rots. Better if you can put in air duct.

        Really the list is never ending.

            Oh no I never seek revenge its a waste of time and emotional energy. I would build a fence so the dog couldn't enter the yard.

    Make the dog disappear.

    I agree with Rusty-Rider, but please not in their car! That will only lead to escalation of the bad feelings and if I were you, I'd just put it on their lawn. You don't have fences to keep out other people's dogs?

    If you don't have a dog of your own, I've seen electronic deterrent devices advertised but I have no idea whether or not they work.

    Move the shit right in front of their doorstep every time you find some. They'll soon get fed up of having to deal with it and start controlling the dog's habits.

    Fill plastic cool aid bottles with water and put them on your lawn.

        Dogs don't poop on lawns if there are bottles of water laying about

            Research it then. I'm sure there will be articles about it on the Internet

    This is a shitty situation to be in (no pun intended).
    You can't really escalate the conflict - They're your neighbors and you'll have to live with them somehow. So eventhough I understand your frustration and I'd want revenge aswell, I think it's better to just go and talk to them again as friendly as you can.
    Because in reality being a jerk to a jerk only makes him a bigger jerk. But being really friendly to a jerk can sometimes make him realise his own jerkness.

    I can't promise it'll work. Maybe it won't. But at least it won't make it any worse.
