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.

You think someone is shitting outside in a public space and your plan is to surprise them in the act?

Form the annals of what could possibly go wrong.

I don’t know where you live, but I am going to assume it is suburban or rural, is it possible to light the area?

No it's not possible. What could go wrong tho

You could meet the type of person to chronically shit on a public path

Or some fussy neighbor who doesn't like OP's lawn ornaments.

They may not want to be found out and get violent...I've seen some stabby-stabby videos and that shit can go bad fast!
