Cats... cats do this believe it or not. I worked in a garden where the cats would do this type of thing to bunnies, birds, mice, etc.. The cats lived in the garden, so unless we kept them inside, there was really nothing we could do... it is in a cats nature!
They like to leave pieces of their kill out for you to see. They want you to know that they are 'doing a good job' and taking care of those critters. I had a friend that ad a cat that would leave whole birds on her doorstep... gross I know.
Do you have cats... are there stray cats in your neighborhood? You could call animal control if they are a problem, but again, cats will be cats!

Well, an overgrown garden gives small predators an ideal place to ply their trade. You may have some feral cats visiting, and I haven't found any way to keep a cat out of a pace it wants to get to. Good luck!

Cats usually eat the whole animal. I would hazard a guess of either a feral ferret or a weasel.if it is a cat get this carpet that has short rubber barbs on it to discourage it from hanging around. You could also get havaheart traps that trap the animal alive so you can move it from your garden.

Do you have neighbors who have cats? This sounds like cats have found your garden and with it being overgrown, it gives them the perfect hiding place!

Sounds like cats. There are ways to keep them out of the garden. Go to the garden center or nursery near you and ask about repellant urine. They have it for keeping rabbits and squirrels out of a garden and I think they have one for cats too. Or else get a dog.

Sounds like a feral cat. We have them where I live and I've been at the animal control for 7 years about it.
