I had something steal a bag a garbage

Sep 29, 2019 5 Replies

Looked outside this morning and my garage can was moved about 3 feet. The kitchen garbage bag was gone. I figure it was about 25 pounds. There was peices of the bag here and there, glad 13 gallon. No signs of garbage, bones, leftovers, mail etc. I live a sub in ne pennsylvania. 18706. I have had coons and possums tip cans over but never had one take a whole bag. I looked at the perimiter but no garbage to be found. What is big enough and smart to take a bag? Bear? Never saw a bear here or in the local news.


I've had raccoons get into mine but not take much away. Does sound like a bear. PA has a lot of them.

The FBI. Expect a SWAT team batter ramming your door at 5AM soon. Sleep tight.

Yep. ... and it will be back - if it found a yummy easy meal.

I'm looking at where you lived, just south of Wilkes Barre, and with all that forest land, I'm sure** there are bears around there. They're just smart enough to not do interviews. A bear could take the whole bag, and maybe if he smelled food inside, he wouldn't stop first to check what was in it. ??

But more likely is that the FBI is going through your trash right now to find connections between you and Pablo Escobar. NE Pa. has been ignored up but now they're on the ground and hitting hard.

**WE've had bears in the Baltimore suburbs and on the eastern shore which is almost totally flat and almost all farm land.

These were 10 yearsa ago, but still

We have bears show up in downtown Ft Myers and Naples. Those boogers are everywhere.
