There is a first time for everything and others might learn from this.
Had a weird experience running over one of those black plastic garbage
bags. One was being blown across a road as I passed. The bag got
caught in my drivetrain and ended up inside my rear deraileur and
wrapped itself around my cogs. What happened next was described by my
friend who was pedalling right behind me, witnessing the entire thing.
The plastic pried apart my RD and bent my dropouts to the point of
cracking.
Lesson for me is to not to take those bags for granted (and to be more
generous in braking). I ended up spending for replacement parts.
