    Last Saturday I found a half dozen, mostly empty, small (12 oz?) gatorade bottles, a couple empty cups of store-bought coffee, a a plastic bottle of chocolate milk all thrown in the back of my truck.

    I live on the corner of two streets, both of which have schools (elementry school about 0.3 miles away; high school about 1 mile away), so I figure it had to be a bunch of little punks who were too lazy to carry their trash to an actual trash can.

    Anyone else have random trash appear in their trucks?

    I keep my tonneau cover closed to prevent this. I have some silly people I work with. You never know what they would do

    Happens to me all the time. For some reason, People see a truck bed, and view it as a trash can. It doesnt bother me. If Im near a dumpster, I throw the shit away.

    Only once... funny thing is, my truck is about 10 ft from a freaking dumpster... I guess they didn't want to walk the extra 5 steps or so.

    Without fail, if I leave my truck overnight at a bar someone has put a beer bottle in it. I will pick it up the next morning and hear it rolling around in the back. I find it funny now since it happens so regularly but it used to make me angry.

    Swiggity swangin' biggity bangin'
    Yeah, the first day I drove my truck into the complex a contractor was walking by and threw his lunch in the back of my truck as I was getting out of it.

    I yelled something pretty similar to "Hey you asshole" at him and shoved his trash back into his hands.

    I guess for some people disrespecting other people's stuff comes naturally.

    Not yet.

    You should just lay in the bed and first thing that flies in, you pop up with a baseball bat or something and go f*ing nuts. Chase them and everything. Don't stop til you see the pee running out of their shorts.
