She did not think to open it the first time?
I knew a lady that had a problem with a group of deer hunters that left a huge pile of trash in their camp- which was on this lady’s ranch. She found something in the trash pile that had a name and address on it, bagged up all the trash and took it to the guy’s house and dumped it in his immaculate yard. I wonder if he learned to clean up after himself?
Frankly, I'm wondering if some editor was encouraging a reporter to work an animal angle into some of her stories. The crow thing here just seems totally forced.
My great uncle had someone depositing their trash in his driveway for free trash pickup, until one day he got tired of it, went through it and found an address. He then proceeded to dump it all over their yard.
That seemed to take care of the problem.
“You can get anything you want
At Alice’s Restaurant.”
A little moral dilemma I’ve occasionally considered yet never succumbed to- if your municipality has free garbage service (or prepaid bags), and you miss pick-up and the house opposite has yet to be reached (may not be reached for hours, in fact), is it okay to put your bags on the opposing house’s tree lawn (can’t ask as owners work and are never seen)?
Just curious for opinions....
“Dow said he would contact the New York man to inquire if the bag fell from his vehicle without his knowledge or if he deposited the bag in the driveway on purpose.”
I can see this kind of response had the trash bag been the first incident. Given that it has repeatedly happened, I think that’s a pretty milquetoast response. I would just issue him a summons or fine him whatever is appropriate for littering. If he has a defense, he can present it himself. As it is, the man will just assert the latter excuse and will get away with it.
