Kicker - Roadside view

NICK EICHER, HOST: Well, police in rural areas tend to come across all sorts of things lying in the middle of the road.

But Greene County, Missouri officials are perplexed by a great big object blocking traffic near the intersection of two roads: an abandoned mobile home.

Someone just left a trailer home in the middle of the road with the hitch propped up on blocks.

Investigators asked for leads on social media as to who the owner might be. Fellow Missourians had a field day with that.

REICHARD: One quipped: “When your parole officer says you can’t go within 100 yards of your home and you have to visit a friend.”

EICHER: Or this one: “This is what happens when the husband finds out the in-laws are coming to stay.”

REICHARD: Be nice! The holidays are almost here!

EICHER: Latest word is the sheriff has identified a person of interest and charges are likely.
