I came upon this yesterday on the side of the road. Obviously it was being discarded, but I wonder if the owner waited til the innards were totally exploded before getting rid of it, or if he did that as a final gesture so no one else would want it.
I certainly agree with Carole..it happens very often..sometimes you see it in perfect condition and when it doesn't picked up right away the next morning it looks like your picture here..it's too bad because someone might have found a use for it. @cimes1
