Teenagers and initiative? Lmao...Let alone observation skills?? Nahhhhh.
I always lose my phone in the garden and have to use my laptop to do the find my phone thing so it'll ring - it's always on a fencepost somewhere. My Mum put hers down on the bins last week and then she was in the back garden pruning and the podcast stopped - ah shit, she thought, running out the front to see the bin empty in the truck and the whole lot go through the crusher... an expensive mistake...
My son hates gardening. Has a distorted view of a child hood spent labouring in one. Wasn't THAT bad!
Oooohhhhhhh nooooooooooooooo DX Part of me is surprised they didn't see it but on the other hand they're not huge and if you still have black bins it's probably not that easy.
I don't know, perahps it's so automated they weren't paying attention!
