That wasn’t the only weird or inexplicable thing we saw, but it was the one none of us could figure out to a plausible level.
Some other weird crap -
1. Man walked past with a cart containing an appliance box, about small fridge or dishwasher sized. Box was completely empty (we could see into it). Guy didn’t look homeless and didn’t look to have anything else. Maybe he wanted a toy for his kids/cats or something and just found the empty box?
2. Man pulled into a parking lot down the block in an early 80s G-body GM sedan. He pulled out a hand axe (which put us on alert)... and proceeded to go to town on the car with the axe. After smashing every window and chopping up a lot of the body, he got back into the car and drove away. We figured this might be some form of insurance fraud, or he really hated his G-body.
3. Woman ran up to the property line, flashed us and ran off in a different direction. There wasn’t anyone else around so it didn’t look like it was a distraction prefatory to an attack. We just figured she was crazy.
LOL. If I'd been there, that might have been me. Whenever I get something in a good size box I save it for my cat. He loves tearing the things up. After he's torn up all 4 sides, I toss it in the recycling and replace it with another.
