There are a lot of mattresses on the LA Freeway system at the end of every month -- folks moving from one apartment to another and strapping their old mattresses to the roof of the car with twine. Weekend afternoons are prime time for this trick.

I don't know if this happens in other places the way it does here.
WOW.... Maybe the LA police should run some public warning advertisements to encourage people to stop doing this.
