An Amish man stole my poop bucket! rant!

[Beau coop]

I am NOT kidding! I was out front of my house working with contractors and the garbage was at curb, including my coop cleaning 5 gallon bucket.

The garbage men are used to it (sorry haven't gotten into composting yet) and empty and return it.

This Amish guy pulls up across the street and walks over to my house ,like he's been there, and picks up the poo pail. I think he's going to empty it into the back of the truck and return the bucket. Nope, he takes the bucket, puts it into the back of his truck and starts to drive away.

I start yelling at him to leave the bucket, and wait for it...he waves at me all friendly like and continues driving off with my bucket.

Who makes off with a poo bucket? What the heck?!

thats too funny!

I don't think he was Amish if he had a truck.

But I totally agree... why would someone steal a poop bucket?

Yea, I didn't think the Amish drove trucks. I also didn't think they stole. Interesting....

no amish i know of drive a truck!

I didn't think they drove trucks or "permanently borrowed" things either. He had the hat, white shirt and suspenders look going on. Maybe he was a wanna be look alike.

Not meant to be derogatory towards Amish at all, just interesting. He was probably going to do the composting I should be doing.

The amish here do drive and around here anything that you have sitting out at the curb means you don't want it and anyone can stop and ramble through it or pick it before the garbage man gets there. I bet he thought you had the bucket out for garbage pick up. Is there a way you can find the amish community around there and tell them. Put a sign saying leave for garbage pickup too empty. I hate you lost your bucket. I would probably be upset too!!!

If he's a frugal, recycling, dumpster diver like myself, he probably saw a perfectly good bucket put out with the trash, didn't want to dump the poop out in your lawn and make a mess before he recycled your trash into something useful at his place! And its poop in a bucket that is sitting next to other trash....clearly unwanted, by his thinking.

I can't say I blame him......I usually ask before taking big items but I can't imagine anyone putting a bucket of poop out with the trash and caring if anyone took it!
