If the officer had really investigated the scene, he would have noticed that the teens were throwing things from their cars, since the cans are still on the street 4 days later.
Who do you blame the officer or the teens for drinking?

I blame you for not calling the police back and letting them know the cans are still there, 4 days later. Yet, you'll spend the time to login here to complain about it. Unreal...

Is it possible that 2 yutes went down Canterbury Lane, pick up another yute, then leave. Then 3 different yutes, drive up...
