Kyoto Tray

I went to Kyoto this past weekend for a writers' conference. A lot of neat stuff happened. But first I must tell you about this.

I woke up early to walk around the city. I found this tray outside an apartment building.

And because trays are hot property, it was chained to that pipe. 

While I can grasp someone not wanting their perfectly lovely tray stolen, I can't figure out why it was out there in the first place.
