Ever since we moved into our new place there has not been one week, not one single week that the neighbors trash has not cluttered my side of the back yard...let me explain.
We live in a duplex/condominium and every week at one point or another their trashcan gets dumped over by something in the middle of the night. This might not be such a big problem if the next day when my neighbors see the litter that they would then pick it up.
We had a wild cat that had a litter and I thought that she was who was getting into their trash, but in the past 2 weeks I have changed my mind, and why you ask ... well 1st and foremost, I haven't seen the cats in awhile and 2nd, one time I saw the mother cat outside(this was in the middle of the night) run from some dark shadowy figure, then the trashcan got tore apart.
This past week we had our windows open because of the cool air and fairly low humidity. At about 2:30 in the morning I awoke to the sounds of vandalism in the backyard so I stumbled out of bed grabbed my camera, and ran outside to take a pic in the darkness so I would finally have an answer to what this thing was.
You know it wouldn't have bothered me so much but the neighbors always wait 2 or 3 days to pick up all the trash that gets dumped and I think the reason they do it is because in that amount of time the wind will blow at least 30 to 40% of the crap in my yard then they have less to pick up and even then they only pick up some of it, leaving the rest for me to pick up or to blow into our fence line which has now become a land fill. If it was me I'd get tried of having my trash blow all over the place and do something to make sure that nothing could dump my trash can over and rip into my stinking bags of filth.
Can you see anything in this pic?

This is the next day and I was so relieved to see that there was hardly any amount of trash...but then again this was only 1 day after we put our trash out for pick up. So what I'm wondering is why the trash monster was so late this week?...maybe nothing good to eat...maybe not enough litter to throw in my yard so it could look like a nuclear waste station...maybe the stench of rotting flesh from all their half eaten take out wasn't strong enough, or the fact that maggots hadn't began to form in their trashcan....well heck I don't know but I was so happy that for once I wouldn't be picking up 5 tons of crap out of my yard just to keep the kids from getting mono/AIDs or some kind of staff disease.

Even thought I have never seen the "Trash Monster" it must look something close to this because of all the damage I've seen and all the horendish noises.

I wish he'd pick up after himself.
