New, what is it? Bag of dust/small rocks found in grandma’s house

Thumbnail

Upvotes

I was cleaning my grandmother’s house and found this tin containing this double bagged dust with little pebbles in it.
Don’t think it’s someone’s ashes as it’s so rocky … anyone got any idea why this would be double bagged and put in a tin?
My grandma isn’t here to ask her any more💔
She was into rocks, especially tumbling them, but this doesn’t seem like something that would have normally fascinated her.

New, what is it? I always see this house in my neighborhood with lots of people gathering and meeting. There are usually lots of cars parked outside and there are triangle signs everywhere. What could it be?

Serious answers only please! What are these things that ruined my day?

Drove for just a couple minutes after work before hearing something was wrong with my tire. No air leakage yet, and have bad tire damage driving near my job before, but these babies seem almost deliberate.
Not a barrier to getting stuff fixed, just morbidly curious, and wondering if it has anything to do with a coworker of mine who just quit.

Solved! Does this look like someone stole / siphoned gas from us?

I had the car washed just a few days prior to this. After this picture, I went to the gas station, and there was a little bit of liquid (gas?) on top of the capless gas "cap" when I opened the fuel door. I don't know what else it could be.

New, what is it? Keep finding these on outside walls

These keep appearing stuck to the walls of our business in Pinellas County FL. It’s the second time I’ve seen one on this Ring camera. Also found on on a window. But it’s not just here. I’ve seen them at a house we have as well. They’re hard, yellowy white, some edges almost seem paper like. Thumb for scale.

SOLVED! It’s nicotine patches. And I found out who is responsible.

I give that context to say, this wasn't like a trashy yard where someone would just throw stuff into. There was nothing else in the yard aside from rhis. It smelled like grease and appeared to be some sort of animal product.

There are coyotes in the area that chill on the yard sometimes, so maybe a coyote threw up this intestine or something?

This was installed into our in ceiling heating/air unit over night at my job. It was never been there before and my coworker was panicking and making a fuss about it.

Serious answers only please! Found in our yard - could it be an old toy of my late father when he was a child?

I mean it's obvious a miniature soldier. Maybe from some board game. But I don't know how it came there.

I know my father played here when he was a child, does someone know more about it? Maybe even with a date and age of that little guy?

A thumbnails size btw.

New, what is it? Mystery scary text on my bath mirror ‘Kara 🛑 dont cut yourself, show yourself to heal!, ??

I recently moved into an apartment and was a bit spooked to see something written on my mirror after a bath.

I’m not sure who Kara is or who might have written it. It’s probably just the old tenants, but I’m a little scared to stay here now. Could it be a joke or a reference or something else?

Kara, if you happen to see this, I hope you’re doing great.
