How do I deal with someone who's been shitting in front of my house? (literature.cafe)

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.

I really really hope people are capable of telling a tiny cat poop apart from human poop. Unless there are tigers or other big cats around.

Based on the place where I live and the size of the shit , it has to be dogs or people. And idk if a dog is capable of shitting in the same place thrice after a fixed interval of time

My little pup definitely has favourite spots to shit - often it’s in front of a house he knows another dog lives in. It’s not exactly the same spot every time, but there are very much creatures of habit and I wouldn’t rule it out.
