their meal. There was rubbish all around the car.

Thought straight away that there is no way someone would park a car between two rubbish heap's. So as I was watching the car I saw the window coming down and a litter had been roped.

I was going mad. I parked my car behind the car and confronted the two ladies, vendors there was actually a bin ten feet away. What could be the solution?
