When Glenn Pladsen was pulled over on U.S. 287 south of Longmont around 5:30 a.m. Thursday and ticketed for tossing books out his car window, he didn't realize that a great mystery had been solved.
"I didn't even know anybody even cared," the Arvada resident said Thursday afternoon when reached at his Longmont workplace. "I just thought they were being blown in the ditch. That's what I thought was happening."
Rather, the books Pladsen had been tossing out his car window since at least last fall had been the subject of newspaper articles, TV news segments and pages of speculation.
