Two years ago Matt and I were tooling along at the bottom of one hundred steps and Matt saw a large plug bag left on the rocks. He walked out and retrieved it. For the next half mile the conversation centered around how hard it might be to find the owner of the bag, and that we hoped we could. Just then this guy comes at us going as far as he could peddle, because he had left his bag where we found it. He saw the bag in Matt's basket. Took it out of the basket and muttered something, very muted and I dont think it was a thank you, and took off back to the parking area. He was still there when we got back to our vehicles when I overheard him say, "yah, maybe I should have thrown them a plug", to his two buddies. My understanding of how he said it was that we looked like a pair of googans, and he'd be doing us a favor. He wasn't very appreciative of our endeavours, but at least we didn't have to search long for the owner. Someone going the opposite direction could have picked it up, rode off, and never looked back.
So guys do forget bags. I don't know how this guy forgot such a large size bag that was full, but he did. Hopefully, what everyone surmises here isn't true and the kid who picked it up thinks he was doing the right thing, and is looking for the owner.
