My wife grew up in Coombs, just up the road from the place with the goats on the roof (if you know, you know)…

Her parents would regularly put miscellaneous crap out on the road (highway) to be picked up by whoever wanted it. About 5 years ago, they put some stuff out there like they had been doing for years and about an hour later, the police showed up at their place…

The long and short of it is that it’s a bad idea to put can of paint out by the road for free. I guess some idiot decided it would be fun to swerve into the paint cans. The net result was the car following behind him was splatted with paint. The lady in the now multi coloured car tried to pin it on my in-laws… other than the visit from the RCMP, nothing came of it.

The moral of the story:
1. No good deed goes unpunished.
2. Don’t put out cans of paint on the side of the road… ever.
