I'm putting along when I see something in the middle of the road near an
intersection. I pull over to the side, ( this stuff is in the left lane
of a three lane road ) and have a look. It is some nice straight KD
twobys! So I look around and it doesn't look like anyone is missing
this stuff, so I load it in the truck and take off. Not sure what I'm
going to do with it yet! I can't believe someone would just drop this
stuff in the middle of the road and not come back for it!!

WHAT THE HELL! Obviously someone dropped it out the back of their pickup
when they attempted a jack-rabbit getaway from the light to get to the
far right lane before the turnoff. How do you know the guy didn't circle
around the block to retrieve it as you were STEALING it off the pavement?

You need to return to the scene of your CRIME and post a sign board
stating that you STOLE this stuff and would happily return it to its
rightful owner.

YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.

So? What about properly securing the load? Doesn't sound like the
person that lost these 2Xs did that. They're lucky they only landed
on the road instead of punching through someone's grille or
windshield. So losing the boards to a scavenger is the least of his
worries. Had the one that dropped the 2Xs caused damage to anyone's
vehicle, they'd be explaining it all to the law and to their
insurance.

Lesson: secure the load and you won't be losing anything to anyone.
