I am amazed at how efficient rats are. I put a garbage bag in my shed and 3 days later the only thing that was left was the plastic.

The government in their infinite wisdom hatched out a scheme were everyone has to pay per kilogram of produced waste so a lot of people were just dumping their trash. It was a 24/7 buffet for rats. Then, as only a country that has literally too much money can do, they sent out inspectors on to the streets to sift through the bags and fine people.
