We woke up this morning to find there was a mess in the barn driveway. The house and barn have separate driveways and in the barn one, there were smashed bottles, cans, some sort of home-made smoking device, and a box that contained rolling paper, scissors and a small metal container which we didn't open (we suspect there are still drugs in it since they appear to have left in a hurry). Also - get this - a license plate! It expired very recently, but should be easily traceable. I don't like this because my paddock is right along that driveway and my horses are out at night. I may start bringing them into the barn. I'd hate for someone to throw stuff like that in the paddock. I looked though, and could not find anything beyond the mouth of the driveway.
The RCMP have been called and are going to call us back to tell us what to do (we just photographed everything and left it there). Presumably they will come and pick it up because I don't really want to. This is not typical of our neighborhood which is a very quiet, country area, but being in the country, all sorts of things go on after hours. I don't want to panic because this has never happened before, but I'm very worried about my horses.
