[Seattle Greycat] Dude, where's my bong?

So, across the street from my salon is this parking lot. I was outside
smoking when i saw this blobby thing on the pay box that vaguely looked
like a bong. And sure enough, it was.

So, what happened here? Was it's owner so stoned that he/she forgot
they placed it there? If so, why is the pipe inside the bong? Did said
owner finally sober up and realize just how freakin ugly this bong is
and decide to leave it out for some poor bongless smoker who may have
less taste than their sober self? Maybe they were too poor to pay for
parking and thought that leaving this bong would equal the $5 needed
to park - like a barter system.

Who knows!? The thought of taking drug paraphernalia from some random
place on the street is a little spooky, but I'll bet it's gone by the
end of the hour.
