Dead snowman blocking my gate

I just went to let my cat in and saw that someone has dumped what looks like destroyed snowman in my gate, I've just had to get a spade and remove it all which was a pain as it had hardened so was pretty heavy as I have a daughter who uses a wheelchair sometimes as she has a neuromuscular condition which can affect her walking at times. AIBU in thinking someone has probably done this on purpose and be really annoyed about it as there were no snowmen out on the front an hour ago so they must have brought it from somewhere else Hmm

Where is your evidence for this having been a snowperson at all?

Have you done a forensic check of the scene of crime, are you sure the murder was committed at the scene or is this just a snowperson body dump?

I think it was just a giant snowball, possibly maliciously dumped in your gate way or possibly crashed and broke apart and the snowball makers fled the scene.

Chop it into bits with a shovel, but the good thing is snow melts, and if that doesn't happen, build a snowplough for front of wheelchair and bash it out of the way that way.

This is blatantly a stealth post to show off all your snow.

I'm not jealous....

littlepattilou · 09/01/2021 20:56

It doesn't look very big. I was expecting something 6-7 foot high. And 3 foot wide.

Bit of an over-reaction.

nocoolnamesleft · 09/01/2021 21:01

That picture needs crime scene tape.

TheQueenInTheNorth · 09/01/2021 21:01

I examined the "body" and it had a smaller smooth piece that looked like it could be a decapitated head but you're right, their is no solid evidence to prove this was a snow person Xmas Blush

If it has been maliciously dumped I suspect it's probably bored teenagers as there is no one I know that has a motif to do such a thing Xmas Hmm

I used a shovel to kind of roll it in our garden as if we still have snow tomorrow we may be able to rebuild it into a decent sized snow person Xmas Wink

It's big enough to be a massive pain if I had to get a wheelchair out of my garden at short notice

Looks like a mob hit! Grin

NoOneOwnsTheRainbow · 09/01/2021 21:08

Better call Jessica Fletcher quick Xmas Grin

NoOneOwnsTheRainbow · 09/01/2021 21:09

PS I don't think you're being unreasonable, what a weird thing for someone to do, especially when you need space to move a wheelchair around!

Coffeeandaride · 09/01/2021 21:11

I think it was a snowball and maybe ‘lost control’ and broke up outside your house and couldn’t be rolled away?

Coffeeandaride · 09/01/2021 21:11

So I wouldn’t assume deliberate but would say annoying

Maybe but I don't think so, there are tracks that look like someone may have wheeled it over and dumped it there

Did it have a pom-pom hat on?
Dd took my hat and placed it on her snowman's head. This morning it was gone (wish they would have taken the whole snowman).⛄☃

HildegardNightingale · 09/01/2021 21:20

Better get CSI - criminal snowpeople incorporated onto the job. They’ll get the culprits.

TheQueenInTheNorth · 09/01/2021 21:23

These are the tracks, looks like some kind of wheels. I am the last house on a row that are set back with a slope so no way someone would be passing my house with a pushchair and I haven't taken the wheelchair out, more likely they have taken it down the disability ramp and then over to my house and dumped it there Xmas Confused

You need a trigger warning in the title if you're going to post photos of corpses. We'll all be having nightmares.

WaltzesWithSnobs · 09/01/2021 21:26

I know a deceased snow person is snow laughing matter but I reckon a live snowman might pose more of a concern Xmas Grin

Lemmeout · 09/01/2021 21:26

Motif ! Grin
Well you are bu to boast about the snow. Not a flake here.

Treestilltwinklinghere · 09/01/2021 21:27

Where is Olaf in his high viz?

That second pic appears to be the pelvis of an adult snowmale

YY to HildegardNightingale's suggestion. Call CSI Miami. Caruso will put the peeps... on ice 😎
