If shredded, piled, and kept moist, they all break down in no time. I make leaf mold with some, and use the rest as mulch for my beds. If left whole, as I learned by experience... they stay a slimy, matted mess that smothers the soil and won't easily let water through.

All three are in the red oak family of trees and native to your area.
My guess would be squirrels and landscaping.
