"Mistake," of course, is strictly in quotation marks.

I think the "best" ones that day was a tie between the creepy lady who admitted to peeking in our windows to see what sort of furniture we had that she might be able to steal/buy when we moved and the guys in the ugly van who, despite my doing a slow head-shake to imply gtfo, got out of their van and were about to make off with our bicycles ("Sorry, we thought it was garbage!").

Crackheads, gotta love 'em!

A bizarre poo I would have to say.

Did they seriously try to take your things while you were standing there watching them? .---. You should have told them they were to stupid to afford any of it.

I do love your snake though, and wicked name c: Does she chase hannibal lecter? 8D

Yes. They really did. I think it was mostly that they honestly thought it was garbage ("moving day" was on garbage day this year, yay); they all went away when me and my three other helpers stood up and gave them evils. There's a lot of trash collectors in the area who drive around on garbage day to look for "treasure" and while I applaud all this rrecycling, I don't really like living next to the guy with 13 broken TVs on his lawn.

Hahaha, you got the reference! We wanted to call her Lecter for that snakey-thing/nice Chianti, but seeing as how she's a girl we thought Clarice would be more appropriate :3

Real nice snake you got there. I can only imagine the drama if you wear it on top of your fursuit during What The Fur convention!!!

We wanted to make a plushie Clarice for our fursuits, actually! We love her <3

that's Montreal for you, they know its not garbage they are just waiting for you to turn your back. Lots of people on moving day go looking for the people who are in the process of moving and try to steal stuff. Bikes are a huge one in general though.

Heh, same here. I called the local trash collectors so they could pick up my old and broken microwave and broken 21" crt monitor, a 32kilo monster.
Put the 2 items out on the sidewalk the evening before like we have to do and not 15min later after going up my apartment to bring out the real trash, the 2 items were already gone, I was like "wtf? o.o"
Local trash collectors are seemingly everywhere.
And snakes ... uah, never touched or got close to one for real, but I dunno, I has the scaries for them ^^

Clarice is very nice! But okay, you can appreciate her from afar :3

Related to your story, I remember reading a story about a guy who, as a social experiment, filled a computer case with cement and left it on his porch to see what would happen. People would drag it a few feet before abandoning it, sometimes as far as the end of the street. Eventually someone took it. I kind of actually want to try this >.>

"It believes that if it can't see you, you can't see it."

Gorgeous ball python! I need to take more pictures of my boy :>

our snakes could be friends :3

What's your guy's name?

Sergeant Slithers XD I was trying to find a female for him, but then I started focusing on uromastyx more.

Little ball of fear! I saw her up close & she is just adorable when she tilted her head slightly to the side, she is just awesome!!!!

So pretty!
