EN: https://giphy.com/gifs/u99CUapymBb6QptEq5 - Lived here 11 years and I've always taken security very seriously. This is the first time my camera has seen someone do this. Maybe I was just lucky before.
EN: Lived here 11 years now, I’ve always taken security pretty seriously. This is the first time my cameras have seen someone doing it. Maybe I’ve just been lucky before now. - I think you got lucky.

Even worse, they can unzip the soft top and grab it.

Grocery store nearby, less busy. Houses have bigger properties, bigger yards, but not as new as the southeast. Schools and a community centre nearby.

They're close to people because we trained them to associate us with food and safety. We made them depend on us, then decided they were pests. We really did pigeons dirty.
