I once saw a child attending a public star party use a metal tube dobsonsian mounted reflector as a rubbish bin for a serviette (napkin) that they had used from the nearby sausage sizzle...it happened so fast I did not get a chance to stop them...
The scope was kind of unattended as I was talking with some other people at the time. I do believe that they did not realize it was a scope...I was able to retrieve the wrapper as it was hanging on the secondary...
It is kind of funny now but at the time not so much!
