Chestnuts in pocket

Every autumn I have a fight with street sweepers: why do they collect all leaves and put them into waste bins? And even more: they do the same with chestnuts!!! That's a crime! They do not leave any chestnut for people (read "me") to pick up!
I love to discover a street with lots and lots of leaves because sound of walking into pile of autumn leaves is so nice, especially in a city.
I would like to be there before street sweepers and collect that many chestnuts that nothing more fits into my pockets. But street sweepers always win for that simple reason that they get up early, and I am hopeless sleepy-head. And this morning I had no hope what so ever: I opened my eyes at 9.47 (yes, I overslept this work place for the first time and did it properly).
Nevertheless, I have managed to steel some chestnuts from them, and some of those some chestnuts are everywhere: in pockets, in handbags, on shelfs, on my desk, luckily not in a coffee cup. Like every autumn.

Btw, does anybody know why there are no red leaves this year, and neither was last year? only golden ones. My previous theory was that cold and frost makes leaves to turn red, but this theory obviously failed this year.

And where is this correct place?
There are no red leave in Tallinn, in Võsu, in Lahe, on the road to Võsu (Narva mnt) and also not in Tartu, and not even on the way to Tartu. So WHERE are they?
