As of 10/17/17 9 AM, the black plastic milk crate is gone but the "blanket" (upon which the turd was deposited) remains - it actually appears to be an outdoor fleece/nylon vest or jacket of some sort, beige color. It looks like it's folded over with the turd inside. Same location as shown in the photo.

As of 10/20/17 9AM, the jacket is gone, only the turd remains on a napkin (at center of photo).

The turd is gone/biodegraded.
