Stourbridge England has been home to a curious phenomenon. During the middle of the night, someone has been taking glass milk bottles off resident’s front steps and returning them etched with elaborate designs. All the locals interviewed about the stealth artist have been delighted by their surprise artworks.
The Telegraph reports:
Jackie Dimock, 55, from nearby Kingswinford, discovered a bottle on her doorstep on Monday morning.
She said: “I was putting out the empties and I noticed there was an extra one on the doorstep.
“When I picked it up I saw there was this amazing picture on it. The milkman came to collect the bottles, but I didn’t want to give him the one with the picture on it, I’m going to keep it.
“Who knows, it might be worth something one day.”
The etchings have got the town talking about who could be behind them.
Dawn Jones, 81, from Stourbridge, said she has received one drawing and was hoping to get another one. She said: “I am collecting them for my grandchildren, they are marvellous.”
The artist first struck a few weeks ago. Bosses at Dairy Crest, which supplies the Stourbridge and Wolverhampton area, said they were as keen as locals to find the person responsible.
