I hired a roofer once to, as you may have guessed, reroof my house in Seattle while I was living in Ptown.  I get a call from the tenant, an extremely fastidious cellist, no less.  He informs me that there is an apple brown betty curled up in the middle of the basement.   
  
I come up (fortunately that was already my plan), and, sure enough, there it is.  I found two more in my back yard, which measures all of 16' x 20'.  Plus my cheap cement Bhudda was gone.  It was worth way more than three turds, IMO.   
  
Anyway, I confronted the roofer.  Turns out somebody's 12 year old kid had to hang around the job site due to lack of a sitter, whatever, and the kid was, prolific, shall we say.   
  
I got a $250 turd discount from the guy, but I never saw Bhudda again.
