Over the last 8 months or a year, we have had beer cans showing up on our front lawn in the morning. Sometimes one; sometimes two. Not every night, once or twice a week. “Odd”, I say to myself.
Finally, it started getting a little annoying — so, being a geek and all, I set up a camera with motion trigger software to see who was doing it. Lots of video of “the wind” and cats, and bugs on the window, but two night now I have caught the culprit — it’s our paper “boy”. I put “boy” in quotes, because he’s old enough to drive, and could be 38 for all I know.  Some nights he drives up, throws cans on our lawn while delivering our paper and drives off.
“Strange”, I have to say.
We’re pursuing this — to get him off the road — I’m good with the cans…10 cents off the paper every day!
But that’s not the important part.
This is the only time in my entire life I have had a video camera running on the front yard … albeit at night only — but that’s when the interesting stuff happens, right?
No entirely so. Sometime on the weekend, someone stole the flower hook off our front lawn! A big 7 foot wrought iron rod. I hear you thinking — “Aha! The camera caught them!” NO!!! Unbelievably they pinched it DURING THE DAY after I shut the camera off.
So frustrating!
[UPDATE!   I went for a walk and found the plant hook about 10 houses away standing on someone’s front step. I assume some asshat kids took it and threw it on their lawn! Well, that’s a little bit nice! ]
