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.

    Raccoons like to poop on top of their old dried poop. raccoon poop looks a lot like human poop. especially when more than one animal is using that latrine.

    in the forest they often do it where two trails meet.

    think about that before jumping out of a bush.

    and if it was a raccoon don’t handle that poop please. call animal control.

    [edit to add] if you want some nightmares; google ‘pinworm human infection’ and then stay far away from raccoon droppings.

      I’m from a place in an asian country where there is generally no wild animals. Wild animals are a spectacle here. There is dogs tho

        Follow them home, yeah, but then just get a shovel. Then every time they shit on your sidewalk, scoop it up and put it on their own porch.
