So, me and my boyfriend just bought a house and the previous owners apparently never raked the leaves up, so the yard was full of leaves and trash and various poo's. Yesterday, we just got the last of the leaves raked up, and throughout noticed that there were a few piles of dog poo that weren't there the day before. I didn't think much of it, because I assumed that whoever left it just assumed that since the area was full of leaves and trash, that we wouldn't mind or notice a little "fertilizer".
But, today, just one day after getting the lawn trash and leaf-free, we noticed yet another pile of dog poo.
My questions are...
How can I catch whoever is letting their dog poo in our yard?
And, What should I do to make them stop?
Just so you know, the law in my town is a $500 fine for getting caught for not picking up after your dogs, but no one ever gets caught even though we live 50 feet from the police station. (link)

Can you guys afford a fence? Someday you should save up for a fence to prevent this type of thing. Set up a camera, maybe? I just checked and that idea was already mentioned. I'm such an answer thief!!! I don't know how impractical a camera would be. I have a small yard that would work just fine with the camera I have. I suppose it depends.
If not, set up a few bear traps. When you hear a loud yelp, BAM, you got the source of the poo piles, unless it's just some innocent bystander. In that case, you'll have to reset the trap and try again.
Or you can wait next to the door and scream at anyone who comes near during a 24 hour watch. That might do it too.

The fence is in the process, but we wont be able to afford it till next summer. We were thinking about setting up something with a web cam (it's a tiny yard, and the area they go on is even tinier)
Thanks for the bear traps advice, I've been hoping for some practical advice like that.
