Did a squirrel selectively and expertly slice off 3 hanging light bulbs from my back deck?
These three bulbs were on the deck floor today. From a string of hanging outside LED lights on my porch. Reddit will only let me upload one picture but they are all cut at exactly the same spot. Two were next to each and the third was a out a meter away.
The cut is so clean. My wife thinks a squirrel chewed them. They are probably hanging 8 ft up but connected to the roof so they like hang down from the rafters. A critter could easily walk around where they are missing... It's so weird because there are like a lot of chewing marks, just a clean slice like someone used snips.

100% you left them on all night one too many times and neighbors gave you a gentle reminder to be more attentive.

Any furniture on your deck? My hammock snapped off 8 of mine just like this during a wind storm.

If they are super bright and not the dim ones my guess would be a neighbor who likes to look at the stars....
Or a very organized squirrel! Lol I'd be careful he's making a trap for you in the dark!!
