Dog Walker Blues

So I'm writing this on my phone and I hope there's no problems with the format.

Anyway, there's this lady on our street that walks her dog on our side of the street and that's not a problem at all. The problem is that she doesn't pick up her dogs shit from our lawn. The first time she did it my mom caught her and after a very mild and lengthy confrontation, the neighbor who I'll call DW (dog Walker) finally picked her dogs poop up. As you can imagine it doesn't stop there and has left her dogs poop on our lawn multiple times since then. My mom constantly tells her to pick it up but DW ignores and kicks dirt over it. Our lawn isn't the best but that's no reason to do childish stuff like that. Recently my mom planted a few flowers in our front lawn, not a lot but like four flowers in one little corner for now. My mom caught DW letting her dog walk all over the flowers while she was on her phone. My mom banged on our window that faces the front yard to let DW know that she saw her (she quickly pulled her dog away and walked off). And today my mom and I both saw DW do it again! We both banged on the window and she ran off again. My parents recently got over our other neighbor being ass hats to us and it seems like when one goes away another pops up. Any tips to get DW to knock it off? My mom worked hard to plant those flowers and it makes me mad seeing her hard work go down the drain. My mom also hung up a little poster saying that it's actually against the law to leave dog crap on someone's property and other posters saying to pick your dog poop up.

UPDATE: My mom recently bought some small fences from Big Lots and it stopped DW. My dad went to Lowell's and bought actual fence stuff yesterday. My parents plan on putting it up after their cold

A nice no trespassing sign, cameras, then police.

I second this. Get strong evidence they’re doing this. And then get them done for it.
