Odd things found on the street in Portland, OR

Some people in that city take a very informal approach to recycling or donations. Last week, when I was walking my daughter's dog, I saw this set of knives lying at the curb.
This sort of thing happens in some neighborhoods where I live as well.
It seemed so strange that I took a photo of them. Are there strange things left out for others to take where you live?

@JamesHxstatic It's even unsafe. A kid can find those objects, people are careless.

@LadyDuck I agree. It seems like a dumb thing to do.

That area is not unknown for criminal activity. I wonder how long they lasted?

I will tell you here people guard what they have with their lives since living is tough you cannot even find a penny on the ground.

We get the usual sofas, fridges and
random furniture dumped regularly in
our street.
My friend found a knife covered in blood
in her front garden. She called the police and
they sent a team round!! Turned out it was a
prop from the local schools anti knife crime
play one of the kids must've nicked it and left
it as a prank!

@JamesHxstatic Haha she felt
pretty stupid when it turned out half
the street had been cordoned off for
a fake knife!! The police said she was
right to call them though

I haven't seen such a thing where I live.I fear that some bad people would pick up those knives and use them as lethal weapons.

Yes, that is true. Perhaps I should have disposed of them, but had no way to carry them away while walking the dog.

It's odd to leave knives lying on the side of the road like that...

The fact that they were just knives... lying there kind of makes me nervous. That is odd!

@JudyEv That sort of thing is seen a lot in Portland. Sometimes it amounts to littering.

Perhaps so. I will be there tomorrow, but am sure they will be gone.

Hmmm... I do not remember people in my neighborhood leaving strange things. Either because some people have taken it before I come out or the garbage truck have taken it away.

Here, the trucks take only what is in the garbage can.
