Could be the police did this? Trying to search for dangerous substance or devices. I'd wary about having an unidentified object lying on the roadside asking to be picked up... who knows what it could be? Could be drug transporter or bioweapon or IED...

I'm new to HN and the FAQ didn't say anything either, why is your name green?

It indicates that the account was just made. In the case of the GP the account was made about an hour ago.

There would likely be a police incident report, especially if there were multiple officers were involved which would almost certainly be the case for a situation in which drugs or terrorism was suspected.

It was found in a touristy area. If it involved cops, it would definitely be in the news.
