I know someone posted recently about having a firecracker thrown at them. Tonight DH and I were riding on a relatively quiet county road. A driver decided to amuse himself by throwing a blackcat in front of DH. Luckily his aim was poor and too short to hit DH. I was annoyed, pulled off the road and called the county sheriff. We didn't get the license plate, but we did get the address he pulled in at and a good description of the truck.
Surprisingly, the Sheriff's Deputy that called me actually sounded interested in doing something. In a semi-rural county I expected to hear "Probably just kids playing a prank." The Deputy said he would drive that way and try to locate the driver. After that his plan was to pull the guy over so they could get an identity. Nothing will come of it, I am sure. We did get the complaint on record, so if the guy does it again they will know it had been reported previously. This road is one the local cycling club is on or near most weekends, so I wouldn't be surprised if this guy tried it again.
