CSI: My Backyard

[Peter Williams]

Ok, I need your guys help on this one. Last night, someone vandalized our greenhouse, and none of us in my family can figure out how the heck it was done. Ok, I'll start from the beginning:

In our backyard, we have a shed, and a green house, the shed is at the very back of the yard, followed by the greenhouse. The green house isn't used for growing plants (anymore), we just use it for storage. Inside we have bikes, deck chairs, pool stuff, and all my bales of pine for my rats.

This morning we discovered a large puncture in the greenhouse, AND a puncture in one of my bales of pine. The piece of insulation punched out of the wall is missing, and there is NOTHING inside the greenhouse that could be the culprit. And for the love of god we cannot figure out what kind of device, stick, board, or projectile could have done this, here's the pics:

Showing the angle of the shed roof


Outside closeup of puncture, there is some sort of circular indent in the plastic, almost like it was a paintball (but there's no paint!)


Punched out insulation, missing


Inside view of the puncture


View of the inside of the greenhouse, the puncture in the bail, is actually HIGHER than the hole in the greenhouse wall


Bale puncture







So guys, any idea's as to what the heck could have done this?!

Maybe it was some sort of bird?

Have you dug into the bail of pine to see if anything is lodged in there?

I just opened another one a few days ago, so when I get to this one im sure if there's anything in there, I'll find it.

Do you have a shooting range near by? Even as far as a mile away? Or are you near an empty lot that may be used for target practice? Looks like it could be a bullet hole of some sort.

Or it could be a meteor!

Nope, nope, and nope.

Very odd....

It looks like someone punched through it (by the shape and stress of the plastic on the outside), but that can't explain the tear in the pine bale.

Weird, I would check inside the bale of bedding also but other than that I have no freakin idea lol!

If I had to guess I'd say broom handle or something of the like. The fact that the bail was torn and not just punctured may be from the object falling as it hit the bail. I'd be looking at kids for this playing throwing a paint handle or something and it goes through they go in and get it. Other wise the object is still there.
