They crinkle cut them like fries, but theyre a raw or perhaps pickled vegetable. Bright red outside but an orange core. About an inch across on the cross section, texture of raw apple, very firm.
I'm stumped on these but theyre tasty! A little tangy with a light spice.
Fingers crossed you guys can help, because whatisthisthing automodded me.
dunno how long this is gonna be so TLDR: some prick is leaving shards of glass in the big field everyone uses to walk their dogs and children. is it even worth calling the cops about?
i'll start with what i know, then move on to what i suspect.
so every day i walk my dog in the big field near my house, same as everyone else. a few times a month at least, i pick up shards of glass. always one piece, freshly broken, usually too large to come in on a shoe. (we're talkin two inches across) wasn't there yesterday. nowhere near any other patches of broken glass.
its been at least three years. i've had a lot of time to think about this.
the pieces are always in one of the entrances, or along one of the paths that run parallel to the street
thats what i know.
what i suspect:
this is being done intentionally. im 90% certain of that.
this is someone very local. they may even have windows overlooking the field, as once i started photographing the pieces, they started getting smaller.
this is not a teenager. a teenager would go out at night and embed the glass into the dirt point up. this is always on top of the path. sitting on top of the grass. the slasher is older. maybe even old old. someone who cant bend as well as a teen. and the biggest tell of age -
the glass stops in the winter. this means its someone who doesn't do this on their commute to work or shop. its someone who goes out specifically to do this.
i live in a tiny nowhere village with no cameras and a fairly worthless force of plod.
i dont want to make a local social media post. coppycat teens and nosey people will muddy the waters. and i am not flush enough to afford a trail cam to catch them.
how do i proceed?
