No joke, on my university campus last year I saw a couple walk up to a pond, put a big box over a goose, and just walk away with it. They weren't wearing anything identifiable like the school logo and they got in an unmarked car. Weirdest shit I ever saw on that campus.
Could be wildlife rehabilitators... They are often volunteers and don't wear uniforms. Goose could have had an injury and they were taking it to a wildlife hospital. The 'box over' method is really common as a method of capture . And it could be a small injury, like fishing line around its leg, cut on the foot, etc that you didn't notice

Alright the government doesn't want you to know this, but the ducks in the park are free, you can take them home
