One of the most common pieces of parking lot junk, used to balance tires, these things seem to fall off in the slightest breeze. They used to be made of lead, which was horrible - they wind up in storm drains, and therefore int he water - but nowadays they're made from zinc or steel, which isn't as horrible. A old lead weight still shows up from time to time, but it's either from a 1970 Delta 88 or it's been sitting around for a long time.
