Picked up by a stranger

After the garbage truck had ran this morning I began the day driving around to do errands. I had to drive around a garbage can that was being tossed about by the wind and was resting in the middle of the road. A few minutes later I had to drive back down my road to get something I had forgotten. The can was still in the road. I retrieved what I needed and again had to drive around the can. Hours later on my way home I saw it was still in the road. I wandered had my garbage can ever been picked up by a stranger and put back in my yard and I never knew it.
