The point of this is to surprise your garbage man.

This device looks like a garbage can except that it has a false door on the back that an animal like a racoon, skunk, cat, rat or small dog can enter but not exit from.

It functions like a humane trap it lets the animal in but it cannot get out. Lured by food placed in a bowl at the bottom.

The animal remains until the lid is released.

garbagemen aren't high up on the list of people I want surprised in a nasty way. I think we partially covered this in a post on how to keep kids from knocking over the garbage for yoiks (which *are* rather high up on the list). [-]

But the spirit of the thing! It is the spirit of the thing that I appreciate.

They would FIGHT! Cue Star Trek fight music!

or an uneasy truce...

or maybe: they would find love?
