Even when you leave beer cans out to be recycled they always end up getting picked up or shall I say "stolen." Well, at least that's always been my experience. I'll leave some beer cans with the rest of my recycables, I come back after a few hours and everything is there except the beer cans. Now if I ever caught the perpetrator I wouldn't call the cops. That's just crazy.

Wow, fifty bucks? Hmm...

Surprisingly, its not the first time I've heard of someone getting arrested over an empty beer can in Florida.

A friend once brought an empty can to spit his dip in during a walk on the beach... and beer on the beach in that part of Jacksonville is (was?) a misdemeanor. Of course, the law specified "containers of alcohol" so it didn't differentiate between the drink and the empty can!
