a woman once asked me."why do guys pee on everything?" I said,"because we can".
But taking a dump in an area where there are people/homes is just plain ignorant.I,d have the pellet gun handy and whenever I saw the moon..I,d make it a total eclipse.never to be seen in my lifetime.
when i first moved into this house, the neighbours little dog "always" dumped on my front dooryard..after asking politely to have it stopped.and being told "what makes your place so special?" I just picked up the deposit with a shovel and placed on the hood of their nice car.
Perhaps a shovelful delivered to their door while the party is going on will allow them to see the error of their ways..This has nothing to do with different culture but everything to do with just plain ignorant.OK..I,ll calm down now

A sign tied or staple to the trees stating "THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC RESTROOM" might be a quiet way of letting them know your parents know.....but I like the motion sensitive sprinkler, coupled with a HUGE motion sensitive light......it's just plain bad manners what their guests are doing!

Maybe these people have been in the same bathroom as Sen. Craig & don't want to take any more chances.

Fences will make the best neighbours, but I like the idea of motion activated sprinklers.

This has happened twice in my experience, but both times it was kids. The first was in the 60's in mid New jersey, in a small town. We got some new neighbors from Texas, very nice, but their little boy crapped in our yard for 2 years. Talking didn't solve it, even with his parents who didn't believe us until we showed them. The more recent event was here in South LA a few years ago; little Arabic speaking boys from the street behind mine. The only thing that stopped it was their finally growing up. Yelling and dogs did not work; parents wouldn't talk to me (not sure they spoke English). Good luck! ldc

Tamatik - LOVE THAT IDEA!!! I like the idea of picking it all up, placing it nicely on their front stoop with a note that says "This is yours, you left it in my yard!"

Trixywick has a really good one, but here is one I stole from someone.

I'm speechless, but not surprised. Are your parents in central Florida by any chance?

As others have said, talk to the neighbors first. Act like you're sure they'll be as surprised and disgusted by it as you. "Oh, my goodness! I know YOU had nothing to do with this, but some of your guests are actually using my yard as a porta-potty! You can imagine how upsetting it was to find used t.p. and piles back there... yada yada yada..."
Their reaction and what happens when they have their next party will tell your folks what their next step should be.

I'd talk to the health dept., this is unsafe and a health hazard for your parents. I might put up an electric fence, turning it on at night to keep the "neighborhood dogs" out of the yard. Maybe warn them about the fence--or tell them your sorry you forgot to warn them after a party. Molly

I'd go with the motion activated sprinkler/light/camera combo. The $10,000 you win from Funniest Home Videos will pay for the fence.

Nice big thorny blackberry bushes - that way you get protection from pooping people as well as...well...BLACKBERRIES!
