I tend to agree with the poster of the above quote. Undoubtedly there are some folks here in TV who would think nothing of doing such a thing (or in some cases even think it was funny) but overall I think the odds of this happening maliciously are pretty low. Fell off a golf cart--carrying two bags and dropped one accidentally--put it down to do something with Rover's leash, answer the phone, or whatever and then just forgot to pick it up--and so on. Any one of a number of such scenarios are probably more likely than a malicious or childish someone doing the deed.

If it repeats--then come up with a plan of action. Otherwise just drop it. Life is too short.
