The Enemy

I'm turning into Carl Spackler from Caddyshack.  We have a woman who is letting her dog poop in our front yard every morning.  She has her dog on a leash but one of those retractable leashes and he is able to go out about 25 feet and still be on a leash.  He sniffs the front of our house, hikes his leg on our landscaping and takes a big ol' poop in our front yard.  I've decided I have to catch her. It is becoming a problem.  Every week there are now several piles of poop in our yard up near the house and front door.  So, I'm channeling Carl.  If you are not a Caddyshack fan, we can't be friends.  One of Carl's most memorable quotes:
"License to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote."
So I am thinking about getting decked out in my camo gear.  I'm going to catch her and her dog in the act and I'm going to say something.  Something like, "please stop letting your dog defecate in my front yard."  I kicked around the idea of assembling a poo package and delivering it to her, but thought that may not be the best way to promote neighborliness.  So I wait and I watch.
