Since Hydros are a rather commonly abused prescription drug, I would
start by suspecting that the person who got the scrip wasn't in the car
when the label was lost. The pills were most likely either stolen or
sold for the purpose of making someone feel silly. The label was most
likely removed to hide the fact that the person holding the pills didn't
have the prescription for them.
