愛知県警が、他人の庭に生ゴミを投げ捨てたとして、
70歳のおばあちゃんを廃棄物処理法違反容疑で書類
送検したんだって。
おばあちゃんは、「ゴミ袋が無性に欲しくなって、
集積所から他人のゴミを持ち出しては、中身を捨てて
袋だけ持ち帰った」らしいよ。
今年6月から今月までに4回、近所の庭にゴミ計約12kgを
投棄してるんだって。
おばあちゃんは、朝の散歩を日課にしてて、可燃ゴミ
回収日の毎週火、金曜に集積所を通りかかる際に、1～2袋
を持ち出し、中身だけを同じ民家の庭に捨ててたらしいよ。
おばあちゃんは、「その民家は塀がなくて捨てやすかった。
持ち帰った袋は、自宅のゴミを捨てる際に使った。なぜ
ゴミ袋が欲しくなるのか、自分でも分からない」って
供述してるんだって。
この記事を読んで、最初は笑っちゃったけど、なんか物悲しい
話だよね。なんでゴミ袋なんか欲しくなるのか、自分でも
分からないなんて。きっと、万引き常習者や、ショッピング
中毒者なんかも同じ精神的な病なんだろうね。

An elderly woman who picked up bags of garbage from
collection spots and then emptied the waste in the
garden of a neighborhood"s home so she could collect
the bags was reported to public prosecutors, police said.
The 70 years-old woman has reportedly admitted to the
allegation against her, saying she had a wild urge to
collect the garbage bags.
" I had an irresistible urge to collect rubbish bags,
and I took other people"s garbage from collection spots,
then threw out the contents and took the rubbish bags home,"
she was quoted like this telling to the police.
The woman was in the habit of going for an early morning
walk, and when she passed a garbage collection spot on
Tuesday and Friday, the collection days for burnable
waste, she would take one or two bags and empty the waste
at the same residence. "There was no fence (around the
residence), and it was easy to throw away the rubbish.
I used the rubbish bags I took home for my own garbage.
I do not know why I wanted the garbage bags." Police
quoted the woman as said.
I laughed at first when I read this article but realized
that how this is a sad news story to hear. You know, she
had no idea why she wanted rubbish bags even herself.
It might be the same addiction to shoplifter and shopaholic.
They just can"t resist the impulse, right?
