Micro plastics in the soil 😠

This would scar me for life and I’d never recover

Not even once you find out it's plastic?

By the time I’ve called the police (which would feel utterly horrible), and the police have confirmed it was just plastic, I’d be a rattled mess for a long time. (I’m already mildly mentally ill and this would not help)

I'd do my very best to see if it was realor plastic before I called the cops, they would probably try to blame you for the murder.

If you find something that looks like human remains hidden in a shallow grave, you really shouldn't go poking around at it and disturbing it. If it is real, the forensic people will be pissed if you've been down there giving it a good fondle before they get there.

I'm less worried about the forensic people at my local PD (They don't have one) and more worried about the very real possibility that no matter what evidence is found, it will get pinned on who found it, because cops in small town Okkahoma are not the same as cops on TV.

EDIT: Also, it's worth mentioning that anyone who has a dog will be able to determine if that's a plastic skeleton or not.

I wonder how this would stand up to water under the deck?

As it's probably PVC or abs, it can fall apart in a couple of years when exposed to uv. But as it's covered by the deck, it will probably stay intact for a long time.

Oh yeah, I mostly meant the water washing up the dirt and either completely covering or uncovering it

Plot twist: Someone took this opportunity to get rid of a real skeleton by selling it anonymously as a plastic one.
