Cowards too embarassed to hand their rubbish to charity shops in person often dump it on the street outside the shop in the middle of the night. I’ve never understood why: if you know your stuff is rubbish, put it in the bin and don’t trouble yourself taking it to a shop to dump it. If you know your stuff is worth having, take it to the shop when it’s open so that it doesn’t get stolen overnight, kicked over the pavement, or soaked by the rain.
The RSPCA shop in Ruislip Manor had a juvenile bear accompanied only by its mother abandoned at their door the other morning: fortunately the bears both seemed to be comfortable in urban surroundings and so far as I know they didn’t attack anyone, but I hope that the staff were able to rehome them…
