Odd things your neighbours do?

I've started to take our Border Collie / Poodle cross for an evening walk around the block.
One house on the corner of a cul-de-sac has a) two large dogs which bark at passers by like the hounds of hell and b) an untidy front garden.
A couple of weeks ago, I'm sure I saw an individual meat pie on the pavement there.
Last week, there was a string of three and a half raw sausages. the half was perfectly cut, not chewed. No photo, as I was so surprised, and occupied keeping our pooch from wolfing them.
The other night (I check there now to keep the pup away), there was a pork chop!
For context, these 'finds' were all later than 9pm, full dark.
Just been out now, 10am, lovely sunny day and there's this...
We're mainly vegetarian, so I don't eat or cook a lot of meat, but this looks like either duck or liver.
No, I can't explain it! But I bet the cats/foxes/vermin love it.

Google use the refuse trucks to mount the StreetView cameras on as they cover the whole local area.
Good Lord, I didn't know that. That would tend to explain why Street View is so often either on the wrong side of the dang road or right in the middle of it. I only ever saw one at work, several years ago. It was a big contraption on top of a wee Vauxhall van.
Using the yuck-trucks seems like a sensible wheeze on the face of it.
Blimey, the things you can learn by accident eh!

It's a common tactic for gated properties to leave for car jackers to leave the wheelie bin blocking so the driver has to get out of the car before the gates.
Looks like they use the tactic on the road as well which may account why drivers swerve them rather than get out the car and move them.

Ah so my neighbour is trying to steal my car ?Looks like they use the tactic on the road as well which may account why drivers swerve them rather than get out the car and move them.

Bin men came I was at work, Bin men placed bin back on my path, Neighbour moved bin to the middle of my drive so I couldn’t get on.

Astonishingly annoying “parks on pavement despite having a two car drive” lady actually parked on her drive the other day.
Badly.
The image doesn’t do justice to how much the back of the car sticks out onto the pavement but I wanted to capture the amount of space in front of the car.
Usually their other car is parked here so she can park half blocking the pavement.

Might just be me but isn't it the road that is next to their drive rather than the pavement?Badly.

You want to live round here where everyone parks right outside their front door partly on road and the pavement, meaning everyone, the elderly, mothers with buggies have to squeeze past their filthy works vans and their even filthier wheely bins.
Don't rent or buy a house on a busy narrow road that has nil availible parking, inconsiderate ****s.

Did you struggle to fit past on that massive pavement or something?
My neighbour, a tenant, been here for less than a year maintains that the fence that I bought actually belongs to him. The fence was bought 15 years ago and replaces another fence, precisely, that was in place 25 years before then.
He has drilled holes in the fence and wants to paint the fence, I have told him no. He argues every time I see him that the fence is in the wrong place. The owner of the house is not interested,
He has now bought two Rottweilers that bark a lot and has moved an additional family of five into his rented 4 bedroom house. He already has six family members of his own.
He tells all and sundry that he is badly done by and that I am a wretched person.
Others call him Mr Gobby

Disgraceful, how is anyone going to get a pushchair down that 5m footpath. Unfortunately you can’t pick your neighbours. Badly.

There’s a bloke in my village that absolutely has to park his car outside the front of his house despite having a garage around the back. Trouble is he lives on the main road into the village, which is in itself the main way that other villages access major roads, so twice a day the traffic builds up outside his house and the road slowly grinds to a halt.
Recently one night his car was hit at speed and was completely destroyed. Yet the following day a hire van appeared in the same spot, sitting in all of the sand that had been put down to soak up the fluids from his written off car. Shortly after another car appeared in the spot, already festooned with adverts for his children’s party business.
As you can imagine he’s not very popular. The local facebook groups have several posts about him, many people stating that they’d never use him for their kids parties. He’s also been called the least liked person in the village, which considering he lives about three minutes away from Captain Tom’s house is quite the accolade…

Yes there’s room to pass but with a drive long enough to fit two cars easily it boggles my mind that they park one car on the pavement and one in the drive…..with the arse end hanging out.
Not the only culprit though.
