strange things from our run

Saturday started out like any other.  Mike and I got up, read the paper, drank our coffee & went for our run.  Just a little 9 miler a week from MCM.  We kinda thought the sun rose at 7:30...and it didn't until 8:03, so it was a little dark as we started down Middle Ridge.  About a half mile from home we see a Coors Light cardboard box thrown to the side of the road.  Next to the road were two Coors Light cans.  I look down, and kinda see that they are not open.  I figure I just saw that wrong, so I didn't say anything.
About this time a car comes from behind us and slows WAY down.  This always makes me nervous.  The pickup actually stops and the driver says, "I'm a detective."  (I think he's going to yell at us for being on the road when we really should have waited another 10 minutes)  But he continues, "Have you seen a truck pulling a skid-steer?"  We answer no and off he goes.  Crime busting at its finest.
We continue running with our eyes peeled for a truck pulling a skid-steer.
And we see another Coors Light cardboard box on the side of the road with more beer cans.  I look more closely and they are NOT OPENED.
A little further up, ANOTHER Coors Light box with unopened beer laying next to it.  In all there were 5 boxes and 7 unopened beers.
Mike's nice deed of the day was to pick up the litter on the side of the road.
