Since the car is absent a hitch, I'm imagining it would be some kind of redneck-rigged hitch for short-distance or light-load. Given your location, it could also be the remnants of some kind of student/frat stunt--handcuffs to easily hook a rope or something to the back of the car and drag around a pledge on a sled or a office chair or something.
Most likely something stupid or dangerous, but not necessarily nefarious.
All my peace of mind wants is a range of plausible behaviors in the stupid-to-dangerous category. Given my own history of stupid and dangerous, you think I could come up with more on my own.
On the other hand, I'm almost certain I'm going to use this in a story for something in the nefarious range...
Well, I've got a real story about an ATV, a rope, an office chair, and a ramp that ended with one of my wife's relatives in the hospital, so I can imagine all kinds of stupid stuff.
It could be that they needed something to attach tie down ropes to, such as when tying a canoe to the top of the car. With the flimsy bumpers on cars these days, I'm not sure I would tie a canoe to them as we did with our tank of a station wagon when I was a kid.
Although the handcuffs would be a rather...odd choice of things to use.
I'm not so sure I would have gotten close enough to actually take pictures of the car, though. Who knows what sort of crazy people were in there.
Yeah. Why handcuffs? There just happened to be some lying around maybe? That's the part that's hard for me to figure.
As for getting close, eh. It was one middle-aged white dude in the driver's seat. And while middle-aged white dudes may be statistically more likely that other demographic groups to do creepy things, I'll be damned if I'm going to be bothered by one on a public street. After all, I'm a middle-aged white dude. For all he knows, I could be the scary one.
Oh, I've heard of this. A kinky sex practice that's come in vogue over the last few years. With progressive couples the husband and wife take turns dragging each of other naked from the bumper through the streets of Sodom and Gomorrah. Some consider it foreplay. I have nothing against it, but I think some things should be kept behind closed doors.

If he's willing to work with Megan Fox again, it could be very profitable...
