This is a rather disturbing development.  Last night, after supper, I threw a big bag of kitchen garbage into the garbage pail outside.  This morning, I my way out to the truck, I noticed it was gone.

My wife said she heard something on the deck in the middle of the night, I slept right through it.

We do have a large variety of animals around here, as I have written about before.  Normally, when say a raccoon or a bear gets in the garbage, they will rip the bag open and scatter it all over the place while they eat the bits they want.  I have never seen a whole bag of garbage simply disappear.

Further still, we have snow cover.  I walked around in the yard looking for bear tracks or perhaps drag marks from the heavy bag of wet garbage and saw none.  The only conclusion I can come to is a two legged animal sneaked up our driveway and removed the bag of garbage to another location.

Why?

Fortunately it was kitchen garbage.   I do occasionally throw junk mail in the kitchen garbage.  Last year, I managed to stop all of the credit card offers that we were receiving by opting out (I also did that with the catalogs).  Basically our junk mail is pretty dull, unless you like the sales at the local food market.

I picture this person sitting some where going though our old food wrappers looking for a social security number, or a date of birth.  There is no personal information in that garbage bag, of that I am sure.

Perhaps now would be a good time to mention the Catskillhouse arms locker.  Without revealing too much, I will say we have guns, ammo, and knowledge of operation.  Caution is advised.
