Ask me...I'll throw that guy under the bus. Every place I went mding after that guy's story printed, people would say are you the guy that found all the stuff on the green?. In the local paper townies were complaining that all the stuff that the guy found actually belongs to the city and he should give it back. To my knowledge I don't think that has happened, nor any possiblities of that happening.
