Elmo’s Hanging on by a Leg

The other morning the boys and I saw something rather disturbing--- a plush Elmo dangling by one leg from the trunk of a silver Subaru. Did some poor tot get dropped off at daycare without his Elmo? Is a mean older sibling torturing a  younger sibling? Was Elmo's precarious journey accidental or purposeful?

Have you seen any strange things dangling from cars lately?
