A mystery

OK, here's a mystery: Jack and I were pulling the car out of the garage today, on our way to the LJ picnic, when we looked over, and there underneath our little tree we saw:

• an empty Budweiser can


• a seat belt


• a crumpled $1 bill


• a stained, moist T-shirt


• a pair of sunglasses


• an envelope

I got out of the car to investigate, and found the envelope had more money in it -- a $5 and a $1.

What the hell? For what purpose was all this stuff left in our front yard?

When we got back to the house, we discovered someone's necklace had broken in the driveway, and there were about two dozen tribal-themed beads scattered about. I figure we just didn't notice the beads earlier, because they were under the car.

Your challenge: Leave a comment with a scenario to explain these mysterious items left in our front yard ... because we have no idea.
