Radiosonde X3152170 recovered by VE3DMU

Sonde, chute, or string nowhere to be seen at last descent fix so used GQRX + laptop to check if it was still transmitting… Yes! Made a decode and visited that area but could not find it despite a lot of looking. By then it was lunchtime and an employee came out to enjoy the sun, asked her if anyone had seen a weather balloon. YES!, found it on the driveway, and after reading the pictograph about disposal I put it in the dumpster since the latex smelled so bad. They kindly unlocked their dumpster and there it was. A happy ending except for the flat tire while cycling home.
