I had a t-shirt in mind, and low and behold... I found one immediatly. I still have it and wear it... it's a blue shirt with "Cruz Bay Eagles" on the front with an eagle picture, and a "Pathfinder club" with logo on the back. Does Anyone who what this is?

I confess. We usually try to blend in St John when we visit, and I would never do this at home... You know where this is going. We dropped our villa trash at the dumpster and my 12 yr old son spied a boogie board, with a small crack in it. I looked around, threw it in the jeep, and took off for the beach. The chickens were my only witnesses. Ok. I confess. We usually try to blend in St John when we visit, and I would never do this at home… You know where this is going.

We were informed to leave anything we didn't want next to the dumpster when we were "cleaning house".........so hubby loads the truck, and when he returned home he told me people stopped when they saw what he was unloading and transfered it from his car to theirs - he didn't even have time to put it on the ground :) The strangest thing I think I have seen vanish, was a well used toilet - yep, gone in less than a day.

I once found an orange wicker elephant table at the dumpster, we had that sucker for years, loved it! One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.

My boyfriend and I bought a new couch and put the old one in the alley out back. We had a bet to see if it would be gone by the end of the day or not. I lost the bet - it was gone in two hours.

We would notice what was by the dumpster on our way in to town and see if it was gone on the way back to the villa. Amazing! I thought candid camera was involved.

FAST. I hung a bag of clothes there and was happy to see Luna wearing one of the outfits the next day.
