A Caernarfon man has had his car vandalised in what he claims is a row over dog muck.
Jim Holman believes wing mirror of his silver Peugeot 307 car was snapped off in retaliation after he put up a sign urging walkers to clean up after their dogs.
The incident comes just two days after Mr Holman placed up the sign at his house on Constantine Road.
The sign shows an image of a dog doing its business and reads: “Clean it up, you are being watched.”
Jim, who lives with his partner Jennifer Jones, said: “I received a call from my partner at 9.30am on Friday morning saying the wing mirror of my car had been snapped off.
“The mirror has been totally damaged and I’ve had to put tape over it. It will have to be replaced at a cost of £150.
Mr Holman, who has reported the incident to the police, said he put up the sign after becoming annoyed with the dog mess in the area.
He said: “It is everywhere. I’ve got two dogs myself and I always take bags and pick up after them.
“But there are a minority of people who don’t sadly, which just makes the area look a mess and it’s a health hazard.
“So I got annoyed, downloaded an image from the internet of a dog doing a mess and stuck up a sign outside my front gate.
“Something really does need to be done. I’ve phoned the council asking for this problem to be dealt with.
He added: “I feel sure that my decision to put up the sign is linked to my wing mirror being vandalised.
“It was like someone was saying to me that they’re not being told what to do.
“These people are irresponsible. I won’t be taking the sign down.”
