Baffled residents have been left scratching their heads after finding blocks of cheese popping up in bushes and gardens around an inner-Melbourne suburb.

Residents have shared pictures of large tasty cheese blocks stashed in yards, pot plants, and reserves across Elwood in recent weeks, causing alarm among pet owners who have reported dogs vomiting up the dairy item.

...

Vivienne Forbes said her friend’s pooch ate some of the mystery cheese without an upset, but she was baffled by where it came from.

“My friend’s dog came out of the bushes near st kilda dog beach with a block of cheese in its mouth – l thought it was a one-off kind of thing,” she wrote.

“The dog ate it with no dramas..but seriously, this is weird and messing with my head!!!” 

...

Residents have voiced many theories about how the cheese is ending up scattered around town, including foxes finding and burying them, or an elderly woman putting them out to feed birds, but many believe there are too many blocks for that to be possible.

City of Port Phillip told Yahoo7 council was investigating the reports, as the mystery was only brought to its attention today, but warned dog owners to be on the look-out.

In Australia even the blocks of cheese are trying to kill you.

If this were the US, I would suspect that Robin Cheddarhood had robbed the FDA Cheese Bank and redistributed its contents.

Does Australia have a Cheese Bank?

Take heart amid the deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.

Probably some Lacto-Ovo-Vegan who wants pet dogs and cats dead because the animals kill too many birds or certain species of crabgrass. Mean petty and evil!!

Probably delivered under the cover of darkness, late at night or before dawn. Check your joggers, bicyclists and Prius owners.

Residents baffled after finding blocks of cheese in their pot plants

It's a new generically modified strain of pot that gives you the munchies and then provides you with a snack to resolve them.

What did the cheese say before having its picture taken?
– People!

Test run.

They should put up signs “Where are the damn crackers?”

[Magnum44]

Was there a Moose nearby?

In their pot plants? Makes sense. Thieves come to get high and they bring snacks. Probably cheetohs.

I have GOT to start reading more slowly ...

I could have sworn that that headline read "Residents baffled after finding blocks of cheese in their hot pants..."

There have been stories of tainted cheese set out for animals. Only the dogs usually die as they are frequently tainted with rat poison. I would never let my dog eat anything she found, while out on a walk.

Who moved my cheese?

My respect to the brave people who apparently tried the cheese and told this reporter it was "tasty". The dogs obviously thought otherwise.
