Something is cooking...

[BIAD]

From what I have been reading, the two people that were exposed to the nerve agent often looked for things in dumpers ect for them to sell. Now if they found , lets say a perfume spray or some other kind of container they must of opened it but found it of no value so chucked it away. How many drug addicts would open a container then close it again before they chuck it away ?.  This would mean that the nerve agent would already be harmless for what I have read it does not last long exposed to the environment. 
Also from what I have read the statement about it lasting 50 years is only if the two components are not mixed or if its in a sealed container.

That's where I am with the narrative's position, the reasonable manner the assumed activity is done
is very 'middle-class'... an assumption that someone would act with high moral standards in this
situation!!

It's similar to believing that when the deliverer of the Skripal 'poison' resealed the suggested container
for self-safety reasons, fled the scene and then deposited the capsule somewhere.
This would make obvious sense based on the assassin's wishes of self-survival.

Then along came this couple and uncovering the nerve-agent via curiosity, decided it wasn't wanted
and left the container as they found it...? How would replacing a cap assist in what they were supposed
to be doing? Tidiness in a dumpster?!

Rummaging through a dumpster, a trash can or in undergrowth, one's conduct wouldn't be to leave
everything undisturbed.
Does it mean the used cigarette-butts would be relieved of their tobacco and the filters replaced back
on the ground where Dawn Sturgess found them?!!

I'd like to suggest that if this scenario had any merit, the object that eluded Salisbury's finest law
enforcement the object was taken back to Rowley's Amesbury home and only then tampered with.
But the timeline offers that it would have to be opened twice.
Once near Sturgess on the Saturday morning and again -by Rowley, on Saturday late-afternoon.

Nobody at the Church fete was effected that took place in the afternoon and weirdly, Sam Hobson
(and possibly Pattenden) were NEVER contaminated. Maybe these two should work at Porton Down
Research Centre!

The puzzle is that this scenario would mean the 'container' would've been found in Rowley's flat
by now.

And to add more intrigue, the bus the couple rode on (Friday)...

'...It was subsequently taken to DSTL and following further scientific advice, the investigation team
also carried out forensic enquiries on the bus as they look to establish the point at which Dawn and
Charlie were contaminated with the nerve agent.
Following tests, no traces of the nerve agent have been identified on the bus."...'

Spire FM:

So using the limited information we have,  it's either they came into contact with the nerve agent at
the Queen Elizabeth Park, one of the shops they visited, their respective homes or the trash-cans they
may have looked through on the Friday.

No reports are out that the authorities have located a contaminated canister or syringe, which would
indicate the poison is still valid and dangerous to anyone coming across it. Nobody else has been admitted
to hospital with the same symptoms, so wherever Sturgess and Rowley came into contacted with this
supposed Novichok is a unique and unusual location.

Another thing is that when watching the footage of Charlie Rowley visiting the Best Local 1 shop in
Salisbury -where he doesn't live, notice how the owner monitors Rowley's activity and checks the
chiller after he's left.

The shop-owner said he knew Dawn Sturgess and Rowley and uses their first names. Yet his
behavior implies he doesn't trust them in his establishment and possibly perceives them as
shifty or guileful.

With this in mind, their need for alcohol and drugs, the need for external support of finance,
medical aid and housing, are we to accept that this couple have certain civic virtues when it
comes to trawling through trash?!

Is there anywhere on this simple map that might make you think of nerve agents, exotic poisons
and dangerous chemicals?!
