The Mystery of the Appearing Shopping

[sally_maria]

Yesterday morning I opened my curtains just before 9am, to find that someone had left two full carrier bags tucked just inside our garden wall. We investigated, and found food from Waitrose, new saucepans and other kitchen equipment. It had rained the night before, and they weren't wet, but at least the food must have come from Cheltenham, not here.

Baffled, we left the bags out, assuming their owner would come back for them, but no sign so far, they are still there.

Someone could, I suppose, have got off the early bus, struggled bringing them up the hill and left them for later, but you'd think they would have been back for them within 24 hours...

Thank you - I've been cross-posting for a long time, but most of my still active RL friends are on LJ only, so I often wind up talking over there. I'm happy to receive comments in either place, but if someone is cross-posting I'll usually follow their DW journal.

I didn't actually go through all the bags, but it had some kind of packaged fish, some bacon and some cheese - which doesn't sound the ingredients for just one meal to me. Another comment Mum made was that all of it was pretty heavy, she wouldn't have wanted to carry it any great distance. But if it was dropped off in a car, why fly tip in our drive, when there's a perfectly good hedge on the other side of the road.
