WTF???? Plastic bag as my brake pads??? pics

Alright, while swapping out my coupe 18's for some Rays 19's I noticed in my driver side front caliper has a blue plastic bag wedged in between my rotor and caliper.. I mean its actually wedged in there likes its been placed there.

That last people that touched my brakes was the Infiniti Dealer when I had that exact front driver side caliper redone. Could the dealer have put that plastic bag there?

What sould I do?

if it's not a driveability issue, i wouldn't worry too much about it. just take it out if you can do it yourself. if you can't, let the dealer know, i'm sure they'll take it out for free on a goodwill basis. the brakes will compress that bag to nothing and eventually burn it up. you might just smell it for a little bit. it's like then leaving a shop rag in your car--no harm in it.

maybe take it back to the dealer and have them remove it and check for any damages to the pad or rotor?

That happened to me... just drove over some plastic and it got stuck there. I removed it by hand. No big deal.

you know what really sucks is when you get the plastic bag stuck to your exhaust piping.
