The Bandit strikes again.
April 21st, 2005It’s about time.
I’ve had several requests for an update to the Trash Can Bandit situation. Catch up on the original story here and here.
I am sad to report that since the day I caught the guy on the webcam, the can has not been moved. I was starting to worry that perhaps the fellow had gotten wind of his internet celebrity and I was feeling a little guilty that maybe I hurt his feelings. I mean, I didn’t *mind* that he was moving the can, I just wondered who it was and why. And frankly, the “why” became less important after I saw the “who”.
So I felt bad. I was thinking of posting an entry here called “Come back, trash can-movin’ old guy”.
Until yesterday.
We left the house at 3pm and the can was still in the street. We returned at 4:30pm…
…and the can was in the driveway.
Welcome back, Trash Can Bandit. I kind of missed you.
That’s pretty funny. I’m new to the saga, so I read the back posts. I live an area populated with elderly home owners, so I can attest: old people are weird.
It’s totally an obsessive compulsive doing this; the fact that it’s ONLY your trash can that blemishes an otherwise clear sidewalk must drive him nuts! the fact that it got moved again after so long must mean that you are actively undoing any good that his therapist is doing him
