I always just assumed someone found it on the ground and put it in a mailbox.

I got robbed at gunpoint and my wallet showed up in the mail a week later.

Of course they will. This is a band-aid fix. It's a step in the right direction, but there's also a major litter problem that's not being addressed. Fancy trash cans aren't going to fix all those issues of too much waste vs waste management available and these dipshits that just throw trash everywhere.
