Only one is gone, all the others are quite intact. Community watch tells us this is the first time they've had a downspout go missing. Neighbors saw nothing unusual. Off to the store for a new downspout.
It looks to me like the guy that mowed your lawn in your absents accidentally damaged your downspout and removed it and will replace it the next time he mows.
