I’ve been seeing poop in a path which is connected to the gates of my house. This has happened 3 times now over 1 or 2 weeks. When I saw the poop first, I thought it must be a dog. But everytime it dries (every 3 or 4 days), a mysterious pile of new shit is dropped on the old shit. It’s (very) black, very smelly and in the EXACT same spot!! Right on top of the dried shit!! I’m convinced it’s a human being. I’ve decided I’m gonna hide in some bushes nearby and catch them doing the deed. But what do I do then? What if they don’t care and continue doing it? How do I make them regret it without getting into trouble? It’d be nice if they couldn’t tell it’s me.

    What does it matter if it’s on vacation? I still live here and will continue to do so once my holidays are over, it’s my home and i don’t need a serial shitter around it.

    I didn’t know about the third world country thing, thanks for telling me.

      When people read “on vacation” they think you’re at an Airbnb or something, not just off work at your house.

      Oh my fault it sounded like you were only there for a few more days based on other comments you made, sorry I misunderstood.

      Would your neighbor be willing to set up the trail cam when it comes? Otherwise this seems like something that’ll have to wait till you’re back home. As others suggested, waiting in the bushes is a recipe for misery.

      If you’re dead set on catching the person, start logging (ha ha! log) the days it happens. Once you narrow down the pattern try waking up every couple hours to see if they left a fresh one, then you have a future stakeout time. Once you have the pattern and time window, grab a friend, a couple clubs, and when you catch them, persuade them with reason, logic, and threats of violence
