They only leave foot prints. It’s a little scary to see your doors open though. If you lock your car they will rip the handle off causing much more damage. ---

Norwegians have the common courtesy to close the door when exiting a vehicle. ---

The shovel is concerning. That’s a bear who’s prepared to dig a hole, if need be. And who’s going to suspect good ol’ Smokey? ---

Hopefully that’s all you’d find in those holes. I can see some dumbass arsonist getting a big surprise out there in the woods. Always put out your campfires. Or else. Say, I have a great idea for a slasher film…. ---

> [@Joey\_P](#): > > This one (American) person may have been treated differently from others up until now, but Turks and Caicos has now removed their 12 year minimum prison sentence, which should mean other people accused of something similar (and with similar extenuating circumstances) also won’t be looking at a mandatory minimum 12 years in prison. What “extenuating circumstances” would those be? Being a dumbass and careless with ammunition? Being a dumbass and violating the laws of a country you’re visiting? Fuck him. > [@Cheesesteak](#): > > I’m as happy as the next bleeding heart anti-gun liberal to see irresponsible ammosexuals get their comeuppance. 12 years for having a couple of bullets in the bottom of a suitcase?

In fairness, I wouldn’t have caught that if I didn’t know I was looking for something. ETA, I was just looking at the second picture. After I posted that, I was curious how hard it would be to see in the first picture, it’s, um, not that hard. (Trying not to spoil it) Just casually glancing at it, I wouldn’t have noticed anything at all. However, if I was the creator, I’d like to think I would’ve caught it. I’m wondering if it was something stupid like they made a layer invisible to do something and forgot to make it visible again. One more: I think they’re standing on wet wooden deck or concrete pier that just happens to look like water. ---
