That night when everyone has their garbage out at the end of their drive-way to be picked up in the morning and some jack-ass goes and knocks over every trash can on one street or more.
neighbor 1: Dude, what happened to the garbage cans on our street?
neighbor 2: It's the new rage, called canning. Looks like they hit up our street quite well.
