I caught them adding a broken chair and table to my pile on the curbside. When I cleared my throat they looked guilty for a half second and then went for brazen cheerfulness.
"Morning!"
"Morning. You mind taking your stuff back?"
"What? This was already here, I was just clearing it from the pathway! Besides, even if it's mine, it is still well in the guidelines to be picked up by the garbage collection!"
"Except it's not garbage it's... Forget it."
Confused but pleased, they ran off.
'My Pile' won first place at the art contest because of the additions.
