What idiot dummies these guys were to not even have a look out. Yay and good going for the LPD, but c'mon, let's not get carried away. This was not a cold case nor an intense investigation - they happened to be driving by. I bet they live for stuff like that, to just fall in their lap. If I were them I'd be laughing for days. “Hey, Bob, 'member the time those idiots were carrying that thing outta the bowling alley … ”

“It was probably some silly scavenger hunt item.”
What kind of scavenger hunt would specify “ramp used by the disabled”?

They are a little old for fraternities. I hazard to guess these folk never finished highschool much less college. If it had been “drunken frats” , the report would have been “kids' bowling ramp” found in the Chi Omega fountain.
