cheap electric scooter annnnd then you just explain that you had some mapquest directions and threw them in the trash. someone must have picked them up and wrote a ransom note.......believe it or not cops arent out to get everyone and they are reasonable if given a reasonable explanation. if the garbage was accessible to the public, then that sounds like a damn reasonable explanation to me. if you have an alibi to go along with your trash can story like you should, then even better and you get let off the hook. christ, get some common sense.
