Since there is a polite request above to post “anything useful” I will comply.
The customs of each country are different and sometimes unusual and shocking to inhabitants of other countries. In the country where I come from, the name of which is well known to many here, so I won’t repeat it needlessly and waste JimRob’s disk space, events such as finding body parts and especially lungs on city sidewalks are an every day occurrence, particularly around the times of national and religious holidays. There are celebrations and rituals which I won’t go into, feasts, rewards ceremonies and other such holy customs.
Wasn’t it Roger Miller who had a hit titled “Lung me! Lung Me!” (”They oughta take a rope and hang me”) ?
THE LATEST: The CIA is lugging the lungs to its Langley laboratory.
NO, but seriously (really this time!) Shouldn’t we be concerned, just a little bit perhaps? Somewhere ought there there is a man or woman, worse yet, a member of an oppressed minority, who’s walking around missing a pair of lungs.
Something about the Bronx.
Not for L.A.
Here's a very unappetizing photo that might show the lungs in question:

breathless in LA
Just for the record...big fan of the FR smart azz brigade here.
You can find lungs in LA, but you’ll spend a long time looking for a heart.
Guys, the smog is not that bad in LA anymore. Not even in South Central.
