Was it a Body?

The other night, I saw tail lights in my window. A car had its headlights shining straight at the large dumpster across the street.
A man and a woman were struggling to pull something out of the trunk. It was wrapped in layers of white garbage bags. It was stiff and unyielding.
One of them looked up and saw me peeping out the window. They hastily tried to stuff the package back in the trunk. They finally got it in and sped away.
All I could think of was that it was a body. It was stiff, heavy, and hard to manage.
What would you think in a similar situation? Why would they hide trash? Did they know that if they dumped it there that I would check it out?

Whatever they were doing, it was clearly illegal. I would have taken the license number (if I were able to see it) and the details of the car and the people and called the police.
In the UK, the contents of a dumpster (or skip, as we know them) are the property of the person who hired it until it is removed by the hiring company and it is illegal to either put things in it or to take things out without the permission of the owner, not that that would matter, of course, if one were to try to dispose of body that way!

I think I would be scared if I had to investigate it and it was a body. Then I would have to call the police and be a witness. I am glad they left. I have no idea who they were so I won't worry about it. I just wondered what the people of myLot thought about it.

People illegally try to use someone else's dumpster, it could have been anything but they knew they weren't supposed to be dumping anything int it. when our house burned down there was a dumpster in the driveway and amazing amount of other people's trash ended up in it.

You've got a mystery on your hands. Follow local news and see if anything turns up, then come back here and update us if anything comes of it.

@Namelesss It is the same in most rural areas. Unless it is awful enough to make the national news, we never hear about most things.
