Good fences...
They picked up trash early on my block today. Not the block before us or after us or even across from us, but just on our block. You may wonder why this even came to my attention. Well, I usually put my trash out around 7 the morning it's pick up, so I tend to notice when it gets picked up early. Which would just be a cautionary tale to take my trash out the night before, except for the past history of my block.
You see, this early pick up has happened before. Back when the drug dealer's rented the apartment above ours. See the cops would get the city truck to run down our block first, picking up all the trash on the block and then delivering it to someplace the cops could sort through it all. I suppose it's less suspicious to take the whole block's trash than just one buildings. And the glory of trash is that no search warrant is needed.
Now, I don't think the new upstairs renters are drug dealers. They are under 21 and I know that they get rid of more alcohol-related trash than any other type of trash. I also know that the young (under 21-year-olds) that live in the building next to use have been in trouble for under-age drinking, disorderly parties and ending up passed out drunk in public sight. So I suppose that drugs could be involved in some way.
My opinion on this? If you are so stupid as to get piss-assed and pass out so the cops have to come and drag your sorry ass off to detox and jail, they ought to tack a "You-Are-Too-Stupid-To-Live" fine on top of whatever else you're getting. If you are so stupid as to toss out incriminating evidence in the trash and then just put it on the curb, you again fall into the "You-Are-Too-Stupid-To-Live" category.
I would prefer if it was just a case of the trash being picked up early. But that just doesn't feel right. And I'm pretty good at picking up on when something's hinky. Right now my money would be on the next door neighbors. Because I have a feeling that youth, alcohol and stupidity are going to catch up to them.
