In the last two years, I have gotten a 6' step ladder, a hand truck, numerous pieces of lumber and small hand tools. Straps too, more than anything else even. People grab a couple straps, put one on and forget that the other is still on the roof/trunk/tailgate.

The thing I find even more incredible than the extremely unsafe loading, is the never ending stream of drivers who will tailgate these scary looking loads. The local HD is right off the highway, and the guy with half a dozen sheets of plywood on the roof of his Escort, as he is trying to get up to 70 mph, has a line of people vying for the prime tailgating spot.
