    There were another 5 dog owners when I walked my two the other day, I was the only one with a carrier bag full of doggydoo.

    In all fairness though, they could've picked it up earlier, or had it in their pocket or something :)

    We take our dog along a particular path and there is only one bin where we get on, so we've trained him to go there. He does quite a few "fake poohs" along the way, which makes it look we're not picking up after him but if anybody said anything, we'd show them there was no pooh to pick up ;)

    Ikea's poo bags used to be great, large and rather thick, but they stopped doing them, the swines!!

    I buy nappy sacks from the pound shop, get about 280 in a box ;)

    I'm interested how they would manage that?

    In fairness, I generally pick up after the pooch. But I do wonder sometimes how exactly they'd find me to fine me if you see what I mean.

    Is there some lab somewhere DNA matching the poo to the pooch? :rotfl:

    No, you would have been captured on CCTV Had you have done it outside my home.

    Aha! Guys! We've finally nailed the fur-hating fascist!

    pulliptears.. i'm going to have to caution you.. We have reason to believe that you are operating CCTV apparatus in contravention of the Data Protection Act 1998. You do not have to say anything but anything you do say may be scooped up and put in a poo bag.

    If anyone said anything, I'd be asking them for their Warrant Card or otherwise butt out!

    Perhaps I should again mention to troll boy I have 2 dogs of my own, which had he read the thread properly he'd have realised, but again, that would involve common sense. Fur hating facisit? haha, I've been a dog owner all my life, the difference between us is that I am a responsible one. I don't hate the fur, I hate the knob on the end of the lead that lets the dog crap on my garden.

    Harry, my road is a long cul de sac. As you travel up it's half mile or so length you come to realise where people live as you see them up and down, or see the dogs in the garden. At the end of the cul de sac is a turning triangle of grass which is pretty much a dogs toilet. For example, I'm well aware if where the man with the jack Russell lives who let his dog foul my lawn because I've seen him come out of his house with the dog.

    It's been such a problem up here we had someone from the council round spray painting templates on to the pavement, we have also had the warden up and down. Whether my CCTV is admissible or not it works, my garden and the front of my home has been dog dirt free for the first time in 15 years and regardless how it has been achieved I am more than happy at not having to clean someone else's dog crap up on a daily basis.

    To be serious though, when I see a hand-scribbled sign in a window that reads "BE WARNED! DO'NT LET DOG SHIT HEAR!!", I find myself sub-consciously crossing the road because the householder could potentially be the next Raoul Moat.

    Following on from the revelation that horses lay eggs, we now find that dog !!!!!! can hear ???? :rotfl:

    You seem to have it pretty well sewn up there. But my question was more general. How do they prove which poo belongs to which pooch?
