no, i do not mean favourite pastime of first world hipster who go brown in order to be green. no. i am talking about casual trash digging.
i have noticed several times that out trash bags were ripped apart, sometimes the bag itself would be gone with the contents loose inside the bin. i thought briefly the ripping part may be animals, but the bin is too tall for a dog and we do not throw away anything that could interest a cat. and it never looked like a rat job either.
so, few days ago we were coming back from walking the beasts from hell. a group of young dominicans followed close behind us, clearly coming back from the beach and on the way to their barrio somewhere. we went inside but i heard the voices outside our gate for a long while. went out about 20 minutes later to do some whopping and the bag - right on the top of the rubbish bin, was ripped apart, rubbish tossed around.
wtf? is this customary to dig in someone's trash? were they looking for something specific? i get the folks who look for bottles, cans and other recyclables but those were just teenagers in swimming trunks. not the hard working type.
and yes, out of curiosity i have looked into neighbours' bins. never seen a bag ripped open.
