Yesterday I was chatting to one of my neighbours and he pointed out that the reason I had found his screwdriver in our front garden (in central Brixton) was that crack users \/ dealers sometimes hide bits of their stash in our garden.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
An hour earlier I’d seen a squirrel wandering round the garden, digging in the flowerbeds.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\nAnd here’s what appeared in the South London Press a week later:<\/em><\/p>\n“I was chatting with my neighbour who told me that crack users and dealers sometimes use my front garden to hide bits of their stash.
\n“An hour earlier I’d seen a squirrel wandering round the garden, digging in the flowerbeds.
\n“It looked like it knew what it was looking for.
\n“It was ill-looking and its eyes looked bloodshot but it kept on desperately digging. “It was almost as if it was trying to find hidden crack rocks.”<\/span><\/p>\nCould they, perchance, be related?<\/p>\n
