I had one problem similar to this on I-90 (Northwest Tollway). I drive bus (motorcoach) for Van Galder Bus in Janesville, WI, you've probably seen them around Chicago, although they were bought by Coach USA a couple years back.
Once in the area around the S. Beloit toll plaza, a punk in the passenger seat of a Pontiac GrandAm threw a McDonalds bag full of I assume McDonalds wrappers at the front of the bus, no idea what that was for---just being punks I guess. Took the license number and the cops went to the house in Rockford. The plates came back to a different car than the black Pontiac I saw. When the officer got there, the plates were on the car it belonged on, but there was a black GrandAm in the driveway without plates on it. Didn't do a damn thing about it.
Also on the Northworst Tollway, one of our buses had a rock dropped into the windshield from the Elevator Rd overpass, the first one eastbound past the S Beloit toll plaza. "Luckily", if you can call it that, it hit the far right windshield post and landed in the aisle between the seats. Old, old lady sitting in the front seat of the right side got some glass on her, didn't get hurt I guess, I wasn't driving it.
