My OH had to do it a few times recently, after dark, because we were promised it would get rid of the foxes that were making a home in our garden!! Sometimes there is a reason for doing something that appears so odd....

It's rumoured that fag ends stuck to car windscreens with superglue are quite difficult to remove.

We used to live in a cottage with access to a coastal path through the garden. I got so incensed with folk's kids dropping litter on the way through that I started chasing them and politely asking them to train the little brats more efficiently :j

Also on one occasion chased a lady with the poo her dog had just done (I did bag it though) shouting "Excuse me madam you forgot your feces" :rotfl:

It could be (probably is) malicious, but could be plain ignorance. The latter is still no excuse, mind.

In my setup, i am in a GF flat with a patio and have a flat above with a balcony. Some tenants moved in above me during the winter, one of them a smoker who goes out about every 20mins for a fag. Anyway, it was a rare afternoon that i was at home and it was a glorious spring afternoon. I usually leave and come home in the dark in winter and spend alot of weekends away, so never really get out on the patio. I thought i'd go out and take stock of what needed doing.

Imagine my dismay when i went out to find the thing littered with cig butts. I picked them up (over 100) and charged upstairs. No one answered so i just dumped them on their doorstep. I saw the guy (1x male and 2x girls live there) a few days later in the carpark and told him it was me. He seemed genuinely embarrassed that his flatmate had been doing it and apologised, sure enough it has not happened since.

Post them back through their letter box with a note telling them you are getting the community police involved.

One of my sisters neighbours let her dog poo in her front garden.
My sister grabbed some loo roll, picked it up, knocked on her door & gave it back to her.
