Weirdest thing you’ve found in your hedge

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).

I think I've posted it before but this was in our hedge.

Looks like somebody who's just seen Love Island for the very first time Grin

We found a 12-inch baby alligator in our hedge once.

Neighbours cat from across the road, with another cat.

Gave me the look of "do you think you could go and leave us alone".

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.

Maybe a kid dumping their uneaten packed lunch before they get home.

We live in a city. Our garden wall backs onto an access lane/walkthrough. We found 2 crowbars when we cut the overhanging ivy back and our neighbour found bolt cutters when they did the same. We’re assuming it was burglars and bike thieves who stashed them so they weren’t caught “going equipped”. I borrowed my neighbour’s acquired bolt cutters recently. They are huge and very heavy. There’d be no chance of hiding them in a jacket.

An electronic tag that criminals have to wear which had been broken off.

I wish I had a hedge now.

Please tell me you’re not in the UK. That’s quite alarming

A shagging couple in a tent, I had to let them know I was about to turn on the electric fence that they somehow had managed to avoid as I was letting 60 cows into the field.....I was still around when they did the walk of shame, they were most definitely old enough to know better 😂

Ah, I’ve just found a piece of rope!

I took our hedge out three years ago and the amount of rubbish in the roses is now minimal. We used to get fast food dregs, pop bottles and cans, sandwich boxes etc.

We've had carrier bags and bin bags of rubbish, bags of dog shit. Various tools, including screwdrivers, a chisel, a few spanners and a sledgehammer with a rotten handle.

There have been a few nice pint glasses, my daughter claimed the Koppaberg one.

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

Are you my neighbour ? The 9year old girl grandson was sent to pull me out but obviously couldn't manage so just pushed me back in
