Soooo...4 cops show up at my house last night at 8:30. Said they had reports of "the smell of death" coming from my house from my house for 2 months. Now, my parents are visiting and my dad answered the door. My daughter had walked by. I go out there and they tell me the deal. I give them the, "Beats me" reaction, I haven't smelled anything (true). They said they couldn't smell anything either and left. Then they went out on the road and I could see a flashlight shining a light into the corner of the yard.
There is a decomposed critter body in that corner. Weirdly I did not put that armadillo there. There is roadkill in that area also. But regardless, whoever called this in (I'm sure it was my cunt neighbor who called the city on me for not having a permit for a chicken coop - which isn't a thing, and called the city on the neighbor for building a nice shed in his yard suspecting he didn't have a permit. The same woman who bitched at me for having limbs on my roof that she could see from her kitchen and she hated looking at it, even though it was HER tree that kept dropping limbs).....time frame was off in they are smelling anything I killed. 3 or 4 weeks, tops.
Still, one of my traps can be visible, though a little hard to see, from the front of my yard. Might take a little trespassing to see it, which I went out last night and blocked the view.
If cops saw it was an animal rotting, I'm sure it gets dropped. They're not wasting police resources on a critter. I'm sure they heard "smell of death" and were required to make sure I didn't have a body or some shit. They didn't say coming from a yard. They said "coming from the house behind the sign", which is me. It could have been a pedestrian on the sidewalk who called it in, but I thought I heard him say a neighbor did...but I already forgot
