Something similar happened to a friend of mine a while ago:

kingdragonfly: Not even reported in the news, that I can find.

Is it a non-event, just like mass shootings in the US?

 

No, not a non-event. But take a photo when the area is closed. 😉

 

These „thingies“ are everywhere, even at my former workplace.

Tinkerisk: But we don't have a Hamburg Man ... at least not yet. 😉

 

You've got your southerners though, anyone with expressions like "basst sho afs grobste" (approx. "she'll be right") shouldn't be trusted around an unexploded bomb.

 

 

How do the Bavarians compare with the Easterners, at least the ones outside of Berlin?

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell

Who knows, apparently there's potential for a future New Zealand Man? Even if it's just a famous (last) photo and not a man with a hammer and tow chain? 😉

 

I thought it would be self-explanatory that, despite all (including my) curiosity, you can't just go there - especially not with a spade (that is there for size comparison) and a load chain, which has obviously already been installed by the explosive ordnance disposal service. 😆

Ask a Bavarian and find out.

Just make sure you've put your affairs in order first.

A month or so ago I found a bunch of twist-off wine bottle caps sitting on the front verge outside my house. Today there's a fresh set there.

 

It's rubbish day, and I can only assume that one of the neighbours put the (non-recyclable) caps in their recycling, and the collectors just... decided to turn them into litter.

One for ANZAC day.

 


Attendees at New Plymouth’s Anzac Day dawn service lift car by hand
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/attendees-at-new-plymouths-anzac-day-dawn-service-lift-car-by-hand/L5HCYV7I7NBWLPDPHWUZDRSV5Y/

""
Eventually, a group of about 15 gathered around the 2009 Mitsubishi hatchback, lifted it and moved the car a couple of metres away.

 

Chard told RNZ the car had been parked in the “worst possible place.
""

 

""
Chard said the car could not have been parked by accident there, because cones had been set up overnight to block the street.

 

“It seems that somebody had decided that they were going to move the cone, park their car, so that when we turned up at 4.45 [am], there’s a car parked right in the middle of the parade.

I would have thought the standard thing to do for the collectors was to just not empty the bin at all?

Generally, yeah. Or perhaps to put the caps back in the bin after emptying it.

 

 

 

Perhaps the neighbour noticed the caps were still in the bin, and dumped them back onto the grass?

The bottles still have a the metal collar of the cap still on the bottle. Whatever process for separating this from the glass would catch the caps. I'm not sure what removing the caps achieves.

The physical bin is still sitting out there, and the neighbour typically leaves it there for 2-3 days.
