I saw this at a Menards last week, but didn't get a picture of it.
An older pickup was backed up to the curb in the loading area. As I walked by it, I noticed the rear seat area was packed full of 'stuff'. Everything from clothes to grocery bags, full to the roof. Then I noticed the bed was heaped above the sides with similar junk, like they moved out of somewhere and were living out of the truck. All loose stuff thrown in and heaped. On top of all that was a large box from the store, maybe 8" x 3' x 6'. The box looked like it was full of particle board shelving or similar, so it was heavy. It was above the rear window of the truck since the bed was stacked so high. Holding it on was a large 3" web ratchet strap, attached from inside each rear wheel well and onto the frame. The metal ratchet was in contact with the driver's rear tire. From what I could tell it looked like they backed up to the curb, and the trailer hitch with ball barely cleared the curb and sidewalk. Then they overloaded the truck more by adding that large box and strapped in in place. The hitch was smashed into the concrete, so I though for sure I could get a picture when I came out a few minutes later. Nope, it was gone. Apparently they drove off that way, and all that was left was the scrape on the sidewalk and curb.
