Trolley wars

Sorry for the length!

We have really inconsiderate neighbours, who constantly bring back trollies from the local supermarket (at the end of our road) and abandon them against our back garden fence/gate which is on a public footpath.
We share a gate with our wheelchair bound neighbour so obviously blocking the gate is a major inconvenience for him.
This has been ongoing for a year, about 5 trollies a week abandoned. Sometimes there will be bin bags left with the trollies overflowing with rubbish.

I left a note a month ago on one of the trollies, asking them to please stop leaving them here as they restrict access and the bin bags of rubbish that occasionally join the trollies have attracted foxes.

Note was ripped off eventually and trollies were shoved back against our fence.

Reported to the supermarket, they sent out a team to collect promptly. But I dont want to have to report every single trolley, theres too many!

Reported to the council for fly tipping. They're looking into it.

I move the trollies every morning so I can wheel the buggy down the path. They get pushed back.

AIBU to write their house number on a new note and put it on the trolleys again? In thinking that if they realise everyone knows its them they might be shamed into taking the trollies back to the shop 2 minutes away?!
They dont leave them there in the day anymore, they wait until its dark then wheel them out 😂
We have clear view of this from inside the house, so I know 100% which house it is.

DH thinks another note is too passive aggressive, I think constantly moving the trollies back against our fence is more passive aggressive!

Better to have put 'Stolen by' rather than 'Property of'. They are the property of the supermarket after all.
