Homeless people keep leaving markers in my neighborhood?
I am trying to clean up my neighborhood of drug dealers' and homeless people's junk. However, apart from the clothes, needles, tarps, etc., I keep finding little "markers" in various places. For example, a plastic bag tied around a tree, a "CAUTION" ribbon tied around a stop sign or a utility pipe, a pamphlet jammed into a utility pole, and so on.
I keep removing them, and they reappear. Has anyone else had any experience with this? What is the best way for dealing with this?

Nothing really you can do but as far as the needles I would call police.

I have that in my neighborhood. I kept seeing homeless walking up and then in front of my house and then down the street. It is a shortcut through my neighborhood. I couldn't figure it out until I saw the back of the stop sign and the no parking sign pointing the other way. There on the back someone used a "Sharpie" and there was a note that I couldn't understand and an arrow. Also I had a huge redwood tree growing in my front yard and it began to stink to the point my neighbors complained to me. When I had the lower 6ft of branches trimmed I found it to be a homeless toilet station. Here's the rub, after I had it trimmed they now use my front porch to defecate and urinate.
When I complain to the Sheriff's Dept, they just tell me to file a report with the Safety Officer... The Safety Officer never answers the phone.
I will sell the home this year and move out of California. Wonder why I never give money to a bum on the off ramp? This should have answered that question.

Move to a better neighborhood ? You can't stop it. Just like a street sweeper, the next day it looks like the weren't there.
