A couple minutes ago I heard a muffled crash followed by a car zooming off down the street. Threw on my coat and walked outside but didn't see anything, which isn't surprising since there are no street lights here. Directly across the street the neighbors' trash can was dumped on its side in their driveway and I figured some kid must have run into it then taken off. No big deal.
While I'm looking around I see the neighbor three doors down on the other side come out to look around as well and I walk over to ask what he heard. When I get there he says "I heard a bang and-- hey, my trash can is gone!" I said, "Gone?" "Yeah, it's gone! Who would steal a whole trash can full of trash?"
I mentioned I saw that the people across the street from me had their trash can knocked over so we laughed about what was going on with the garbage. Then he looked closer. The trash can in the neighbors' driveway was his.
Someone stopped their car, took his trash can, wheeled it three houses down, dumped it in the other driveway, then drove off.
