A concerned citizen reports on odd goings-on at a storm drain on Mildred Avenue in Mattapan:
Caller states an unidentified man has been stuffing bags of unknown contents down the sewer at the location everyday for the past year. He usually has a golf club or cane which he uses to push the bags down the sewer. Caller reports seeing the individual usually between 10am and 12 pm

What to do...
Call 911 and tell them when you see the guy.

Even allowing for the possibility that someone this selfish and lazy would be using environmentally-friendly bags, these are storm drains that probably (according to the little metal plaques) discharge into the Charles River. So I would think that a few people might have a problem with dumping shit into them.
You have a problem with people helping clean the river?
I mean, a decomposing bag of dog shit is an improvement over what's usually floating in it.
Is his name Cliff Clavin?
Has everyone been getting their mail in that neighborhood?

I've seen more than 1 Chinese immigrant do this. I think it's commonplace there.
