I don't see him going to far unless it was already on a trailer.

Maybe next time that other guy will do it right and put locktite on his filter when he changes it ! (running and hiding!)

Looked at it a bit closer yesterday when I came down the same street. Maybe it isn't a Harley because it doesn't have the indents around the top edge for the wrench to spin it off. So I guess it's just a oil filter. Whatever, how the heck did it get there and why wasn't there an oil smear on the road unless it fell out of a pile of trash in a pickup truck?

Did you check to see if it was dyno or synthetic oil?

Yep, that'd be my guess. Fell thru a hole in the bed of some redneck's rusted out F1fitty. Probably the chrome filter off his sweet '83 camaro berlinetta.
Just be glad you weren't behind him as the chrome torpedo was launched, coulda bounced up and popped you in the kisser!

Way to keep it up!
