mystery solved

Until now, we haven't understood why there are so many full water-bottles strategically placed along the sidewalk and in planters. We noticed that sometimes they reserve parking spots, but most of the time they're nestled amongst plants. Our friend speculated it had something to do with slowly watering plants (the city has a major water shortage), but our teacher recently revealed to us a peculiar explanation. The bottles, perhaps with some tricks of light or simply their unnatural appearance, discourage animals from going to the bathroom where they're placed. Cats and dogs run free here, so it would be difficult to enforce any caca clean-up laws.
