Like vagrants during depression era america used to mark gateposts to indicate to fellow travellers which households were friendly or not.
This could well be a thing.
Yes. I can’t figure it out at all. They come along in the middle of the night and put a cable tie on your bin when you leave it out. The bin is emptied and you put it around the back of the house where no one can see it. What’s the point of that.
I’d imagine there was some small element of truth to it initially, but I’d say these attention seeking types are cable tying their own gates at this stage
That will cause all sorts of confusion now. They won’t know what it means to have their gates tagged, they will think that their gates are going to be robbed.
