    Almost a stalker....good tip

    So I passed the same truck piled high with furniture and household boxes two times today and I started thinking (always a struggle for me), "they must be moving across town!"
    My thought was that they are clearing one house out and preparing another to move into. So, I followed them. (Slightly creepy)
    Sure enough, there was a pile of stuff they were taking to the dump in front of their "old house". It was a bunch of broken car parts, three computer towers, and a stackable washer and dryer. As I was talking to them about hauling some of their stuff, they told me that the stack they had at their "new house". A dead stove, broken pool filter, and a shed full of exhaust pipes and mufflers.
    Hooray! A little stalking paid off!

    Hopefully some of those "exhaust pipes and mufflers" are actually cats!!!!

    No cats...first thing I dug for. I think that's what the prior tenant was doing.
