Beware of goblins and ghosties and things that go bump in the night  

Have you ever been all alone in your apartment or house at night and suddenly you keep hearing odd irritating little noises so you go room to room to be sure all is well and then you chide yourself for being paranoid as thefront door is still locked?

i had a similar experience the other night.I was alone andit was late and I kept hearing these snuffling, gritty, odd littlenoises like someone dragging something. I did a thorough search and of course noone was there and the frontdoor was locked. Iheard it again outside so I unlocked the front door and there was the fattest possum I have ever seen with a half eaten chicken leg dangling from his mouth. He had ripped open my large plastic garbage bag and pulled out the first meat scrap he could find. He gave me a glare then slowly ambled across the patio, slid under the fence and was gone. we live on the edge of tustin and wild creatures do come down from the hills late at night.ordinarily we do not leave our plastic garbage sacks out on the patio at night but we have a big problem with enough space in the dumpsters we have here for one hundred twenty families and have been forced lately to store our plastic sacks outside until we could find space in the dumpsters we have only five for the entire large complex.
