Whats weird about this site is that it is constant flux. Someone has been maintaining it for years...which is super strange because it is on a pretty nice street and you would think some picky person would complain.
Likely someone died here in a car wreck sometime. They often put special toys that the deceased, usually a child or teen liked or reminds them of the deceased. They are sad to see, especially when they are maintained for years.
I walk a lot in the city and few things catch my eye more than the forlorn toy lying in the gutter or some other sad spot. I am haunted by a dirty, fuzzy stuffed rabbit wedged into the tiny space surrounding a pay phone; by the legs of a plastic creature bursting out from beneath a car wheel; by the headless action figure lying prone in an oily puddle.
There are a million homeless toys in endless cities: Do send in your own photos and I'll post them here. (Real stumbled-upon toys only, please; no set-ups. ) Tell me what city the sad toy is in, and any other info you'd like to provide.

Looks like the Kmer Rouge of Toys'R'Us.
