Plastic Bag on Exhaust Pipe

What a pain.

This was a while ago, but somebody here worked on a car that had a bag mangled around the brake caliper. It sure made a mess and got stuck in a way that seemed almost impossible.
 
A few weeks ago my wife told me a plastic bag had somehow flew up from the road and came across the front of her VW Jetta and it triggered the collision avoidance system and did emergency braking.
 
We had a customer hit a mattress with his Touareg.

Had like three techs clipping springs and wires. Wrapped up on everything.
Did it look like this?

They banned "disposable" plastic bags in our state this year. As best I can tell, it has really increased the amount of plastic waste from grocery bags. Instead of a half mil thick plastic bag, now everybody pays 8 or 10 cents for 5 mil "reusable" plastic bags, which are great. These new ones never break when I put heavy stuff in them and they are bigger so they hold more.
