The Mystery of the Garden Spoon

So this morning this happened:


Underneath the maple tree, a large serving spoon has appeared.  It is not ours. This is not a place people walk, irrespective of whether they drop spoons while doing so.  The spot is sheltered from our neighbours by a large stand of bamboo, so it probably wasn’t thrown there (not that our neighbours are in the habit of casually tossing stainless steel serving spoons around).

The bowl is covered with some pale substance, and lightly scratched.


The back appears burned, and more heavily scratched, including a bright pattern that partially dissapears under a patch of what looks like melted metal. .



Did an animal drag it here?  Did it fall from the sky?  Will other burned kitchen utensils start appearing around us?  Enquiring minds desperately want to know.




So a commenter says it’s something dodgy. Should I be pleased I didn’t know that? Should I be worried that they do? :-)

Someone must have hurled it a long way then, as we spotted nothing on our security camera...

  1. It's drug paraphernalia, used to melt heroin or suchlike so it can be injected.
