Weirdest thing you’ve found in your hedge

[CruCru]

We’ve just been cutting our hedges and I’m quite taken aback at how much crap people have thrown in there (beer bottles, screwed up coke cans, giant water bottles).

I once found a plastic bag of rubbish in my compost bin. Someone would have had to walk into my garden and go up a slope into the bushes to find it (unless they pushed through a prickly hedge).

A saw.

Was it broken?

My very respectable middle-aged neighbour, after a night out.

Pint glasses are always a good find - fewer after Covid though.

Mainly we get beer bottles, cans and crisp packets. People are such selfish mingers.

We always find bread. Frequently, once ot twice monthly or more we find bread. It's not buttered or something that seems like it was part of a sandwhich. We suspect a neighbours put it out for some creature and then it makes its way to our shrubbery.

Ah, that is nice! Did she come back?

A blonde wig, rather good quality.

A scary looking soviet style plastic rabbit. I think it had blown there after a particularly blustery night. It went in the bin.

Take away dishes 🤢

Wasn't there a person who posted on here a while back about finding a significant 'life changing' amount of money shoved in her hedge?

Can't remember the ending to it unfortunately but there was much musing about her privet being the centre of the UKs money laundering schemes and/or mafiosi operations

There was a huge leylandii hedge at the back of our garden when we moved in. It was ridiculous. As high as the house and had been pruned really badly so looked really daft. Plus there were various dead trunks among it. So we had the whole thing pulled down so we could start again and give our poor neighbours behind us some light in their garden.

After it was removed we found a wheelbarrow, a paddling pool, probably about 30 balls of various sizes, hundreds of crisp packets, a bird cage, lots of rope, and various other bits of rubbish.

We found a football. Our bright yellow football got kicked into the hedge by a stroppy ten year old we went into retrieve it and we found an old red football. Our bright yellow football was nowhere to be found ever again

A pair of glasses🤷🏻‍♀️ no idea

Last house, a pair of grey school trousers and a wallet that belonged to a Polish lady who had probably been mugged. I tried to find her to return it as there was a photo of a gorgeous baby that I thought she might want back, but never got a reply.

This house, apart from previous coffee cups and drinks cans which stopped after the big tree below over and no-one stopped in the shade.
I folllowed a stink and found 2 dog poo bags. Currently resolved by detective work and outing in the local group. Stink still comes back in humid weather though, due to seepage.
A nice jacket that had either been stolen, pockets emptied and dumped, or dropped by someone getting out of a car and picked up, put on the wall and fallen in. Couldn't locate owner so went to charity shop.
One glove.

Not in, but buried under a hedge at the bottom of our garden - this is surrounded by fields and in a very rural area, no-one passing by - we found an onyx egg, 3 very tiny terracotta plantpots (less than 1 inch tall), and a piece of carved marble that looks like it's off a Roman tomb or suchlike.

Loads of broken up large concrete. I think old owners used it as their garden skip

A number of tied up plastic bags full of delivery drivers urine 🤢

Knickers. Presumably blown over from neighbours washing.

Sandwiches. Full on sandwiches cut into rectangles. In the bush on some shared ground. Neighbours and I still refer to it as the Sandwich Bush. No one knows who put them there and there's only 3 of us that share the ground.

A brand new bike in the hawthorn hedge. Informed the police and posted in the local Facebook groups about it. No takers so far and it is still rusting away as we have just secured it to a nearby tree, stuck a note on it with our contact details and not moved it from it's original location.

A landline type telephone. This was in the ditch at the bottom of our garden (we are hedge-deprived, sadly).

We live in the country - there's a footpath near where we found the phone, but no road access close by. Who lugs a telephone along on a country walk just so they can chuck it away?
