That's very unpleasant for you to say the least Hilltopgran.
I once found a rolled up sleeping bag on our front garden.
On Wednesday this week a massive amount of dog poo was on the pavement near our house and the children on their way to school had trodden in it, how disgusting and dangerous that was.

Ughhh indeed Hilltopgran. I struggle to understand the mindset of people who do this. The other day I was driving along a country road when a fair amount of rubbish was ejected from the window of the car in front of me. I did think that one of those car camera thingies would have been useful, I'd have reported it without a second thought.

Oh the perils of a footpath. Over our high fence we gets cans,bottles, takeaway boxes, the odd egg, only once a carrier bag with undies hmm. I try to see it as thoughtles rather than an attempt to be deliberately distressing. Sometimes works smile.

We live between the village High Street and the local secondary school and regularly find chocolate wrappers, drink cans etc. My friend lives even closer to the school and collects a Sainsbury's carrier bag's worth every week.

We also find detention slips, homework, messages between pupils etc. I used to worry about some of the stuff but now just bin it regardless.

Luckily, i dont find poo bags or nappies.

We used to get all sorts of rubbish thrown over our very high fence, beer/pop cans the favourite, and at one time a group of boys thought it was a great game to throw glass bottles over to see if they would reach the patio and smash! I also found a hand-bag which had about 50 photographs in it, a little damaged by the rain over-night, but I think it had been stolen from a car and emptied of anything worth while. I advertised the find but no-one came forward. Thought it was quite sad, because the photos were all family ones.

Nfk that has the makings of a great story grin

I think they belonged to a married woman who was sneaking off for a night out with another man.

We the usual fast food polysterene trays as we're just the right distance from the kebab shop to finish eating chips, and beer cans, and also poo bags hung in our hedge. The poo bin is 50 yards away, but obviously in the wrong direction for some. (Our neighbour gets poo bags too - he's 91.) But I don't suppose anyone would admit to leaving this stuff if confronted. I fear it's very much a case of out of site out of mind. Once it's chucked it's ceased to exist.

(The best find was a hold-all hidden in the hedge. It contained a nice dress, shoes, a bottle of wine -and a door key. I passed it on to the police. I often wonder if the girl ever had the courage to retrieve it.)

Part of my drive is a public footpath to some National Trust woods popular with families for walks, today I found a used nappy and wipes just tossed aside on my drive! I just can not understand why anyone would think I want to find a used nappy on my drive. I also was left a present of dog poo in a bag along with the usual sweet wrappers. The message about taking your litter home with you and caring for the countryside no longer seems to register with people.
