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...

Gosh, how odd. Have you heard anything more about it? As the Marquis says, it's worth checking back with the police once the appropriate interval has past, since then if you don't get the satisfaction of a solution to the mystery, at least you may benefit from some new pans.

No, nothing at all, it's still a complete mystery. One of those things man was not supposed to know. ;-)
