“I am not suspicious by nature but I’ve either found a bag of clear chicken soup tied up beautifully or some absolute horror of a human has left me a DNA sample on my front nature strip,” Ms Mcdonald wrote online after discovering the carefully presented bag of liquid on returning from the school run.
“I’m not going to test it but if it was you, find a toilet next time. #dontpeeinaplasticbag”
Ms Mcdonald said she noticed the bag as soon as she pulled into her driveway.
“It was sitting at the base of a tree on the nature strip where we usually put our rubbish bins. I looked at it and thought, ‘someone’s picked up after their dog and tied it up with a bow and just left it there’, and I wasn’t that offended because I thought at least they picked up after the dog,” she said.

“So then I got out of the car and went over and looked at it. It was a printed plastic bag with black handles and it was tied up with a bow, and I thought it’s actually not dog business because it’s liquid. So I picked it up and it was quite a bit of liquid and it was yellow. It wasn’t even in a container. If it was in a container, I wouldn’t have thought twice about it. It was literally like someone had peed in a bag and tied it up.”
Ms Mcdonald said she placed the bag of liquid in her bin.
“My daughter and I were laughing because I said let’s just assume it’s chicken soup and then I’ll feel better about picking it up,” she said.
“Later, my daughter said ‘mum, you should’ve photographed that’ but no-one wanted to volunteer to pull it out of the bin.”
Ms Mcdonald said the incident was very odd, and that she had no doubt the contents were urine.
“It cannot be anything else,” she said.
