Homeless or just inconsiderate backpackers?

When I was out in Little Lakes Valley at on of the Hidden Lakes I set up camp on a
small hill, and while walking around afterwards I found a sleeping bag, and a large
15 gallon kettle left at the base of a tree hidden in the bushes.
The bag looked beat up, and looked like it may not have been used for a while.
Since LLV is so easily accessible I wonder whether this was some one who was
homeless and moved on, or some one who was inconsiderate, and did not care about
leaving it out there.
I found a lot of things out there that makes me think it was just some inconsiderate
individual leaving there stuff so some one else can carry it out.
Have any of you run into campsite where sleeping bags, kettles, lights, food wrappers
ect.., was left?
I did let a ranger know of the location, so hopefully they will bring it out.
I guess this will all ways be an issue when such beautiful location are so easily
accessible.
