Perhaps someone can answer this mystery - - - -
FACT 1 - I have 2 wheelie bins, one for recycling, and a grey one for ordinary waste. They are both kept near the front of my house.
FACT 2 - My house is one of 3 at the very bottom of a cul-de-sac. We share a driveway which is 60 yards long from the road. The 3 houses are well spaced apart. My house can hardly be seen from the road, and THE BINS CANNOT BE SEEN at all from the road.
FACT 3 - On Monday, my grey bin was half full, and it was collection day. But as I was going to OH's that day, I didn't put it out, otherwise it would have been left in the road for 5 days after collection. But I did put some more rubbish into it, so I knew it was half full.
FACT 4 - When I came home on Friday, both bins were in their exact usual positions, as I'd left them 5 days earlier.
FACT 5 - When I went outside on Saturday morning, my grey bin was in a completely different position, but the other one was unmoved. I thought it must have been blown by a strong gust of wind, although THE WHEELS WERE IN THE WRONG DIRECTION for this to happen easily.
FACT 6 - When I went to move the bin back, it felt very light so I looked inside. IT WAS EMPTY!!!
So it appears that some time overnight on Friday, my bin had been emptied, and put back a couple of yards from where it was on Friday night.
But the bins are never collected at that time or day, and in any case, the bin men do NOT walk 60 yards down the drive to get it, then another 60 yards to return it, it is always left in the road.
I thought perhaps vandals had emptied it as a prank, but there is no sign of the contents anywhere.
As I said, the bins can't be seen from the road, and neighbours do not put each other's bins out, and it was not a bin day anyway.
So I am at a complete loss to explain it, it seems very spooky, and I feel rather uneasy about it.
