I do the same sometimes on my rural gravel road that attracts litterers and trash-dumpers almost daily. Your poo piles are probably from the same handful of dogs of the same handful of asshole owners who go there every day to walk their dogs so they don't have to pick it up from their own yards. My mom has a guy in her neighborhood who brings his dog to other people's yards to shit and then walks back up the street like nothing happened. But most dog owners aren't like that (being a dog owner myself).
