What you see in a parking lot

I noticed it out the window of the stairwell. It took me a while to figure it out. This is Minnesota. There aren't any orange trees dropping fruit around here. 

So this is what I think happened. Someone had a rushed breakfast at the hotel and grabbed a few things to eat later in the day. Their arms were full, as they checked out. They dropped the orange as they were loading the car. They either didn't realize that it rolled underneath the car or they couldn't reach it or they didn't think of pulling out the car to pick it up.

Since it was in the middle of the parking space, the poor orange might have stayed there until the snow plow next winter. I rescued it.
