    This one has me stumped...noticed the bottom of our chain link fence was pushed out towards the neighbours yard, and when I went closer to look at it I see there is a hole in fence. Fence is 40" tall, hole is about 18" off the ground and approximately 8" in diameter. It looks like something hit the fence, either hard enough to push through in one shot or repeatedly until it broke through. No signs of other damage anywhere on the property, and no real reason to make a hole to get to the other side given how easy it is to go over or under the fence.

    Thoughts??

    I'd suspect something got tangled in the chain link fence. Mower, weed whacker, and when freed resulted in bending the chain link resulting in what looks like a hole.

    A fence south of me has a similar smaller hole. Metal bar on a snowplow did it.

    That's from a murder hornet. Happened to my neighbor's fence. Call vector control ASAP.

    And don't open any of your doors or windows until they get there.

    Lots of good thoughts...thanks. No equipment runs near it given the location so unlikely to be this, but I can see how that would occur. Not ruling out aliens and that, but I keep coming back to either vandalism or a tangled animal thrashed its way out and left behind a mess. Lots of coyotes in the area so that aligns with embryonjohn

    We did get 5G in the neighbourhood though...and fibre to boot...so maybe that's interfering with the cosmic balance and drawing small meteorites?

    If it was an animal, pretty much guaranteed there would be some fur caught in the chain link

    That's what has me leaning vandal versus animal...but it is a pretty strange place in the yard for someone to decide to hang around and kick a hole to nowhere in a fence. Not that vandalism has to make any sense of course.

    Look at the buildup of greyish material in the neigbor's yard where the hole was made and also it looks like there is a divot in the neighbor's yard as you look through the bottom of the hole. Possibly a broken branch on that shrub as well. I'm thinking animal, but I'd expect to see some fur stuck in the fence.

    It kinda looks like an outline of Patrick Stewart's face...

    Quoted from PinballAir:

    Only one way to find out. Still pretty cold up there though...

    I have trouble with the animal theory.
    It is possible.
    But that type of fence is generally pretty strong steel. (unless it came from Home Crapo or Blowes)
    I think there should be flesh left. In fact, the critter should still be there IMO.

    Yeah I keep coming back to this - if it were animal, there would likely be some kind of evidence - fur, feather, blood, whatever showing it was there. That or the animal would have bounced off it like this little guy with the hedge, from another Pinside thread.

    I'll take a closer look tomorrow for any animal evidence, but likely either vandal, terminator, meteor or aliens. Maybe a few Friday night beers will get the creativity flowing.
