Strange things you've procured on a night out.
Discussion
Multiple fire extinguishers (used).
Architects blueprints from the building site we also took the fire extinguishers (used) from.
An air rifle.
The fire extinguishers were used because we had gone onto a building site and had an awesome game of hide & spray on the partially constructed (structure, stairs, concrete floor, but no external walls) student accommodation block that was being built next to our house. We went home soaked.
A package was delivered to us the next day and not recognising the name we opened it to find an air rifle, complete with scope and pellets. That was a fun day.
It turns out that the air rifle was meant to be delivered to the building site next door but since the address didn't exist the courier decided to let us have it. We eventually gave it back when the site manager came knocking after realising where it had been delivered to.

Was the air rifle for stopping people nicking fire extinguishers?Architects blueprints from the building site we also took the fire extinguishers (used) from.

Discussing this topic earlier with some friends, reminded of a couple more. A few years ago when we'd had a couple of beers round one of the group's, we headed out in search of some cigarettes. The local corner shop was closed so we decided to just drink the beers we'd brought with us while taking the long route home. We were looking for scenery to take back with us - someone suggested a traffic cone, but the only ones we saw were accompanied by surly looking highways maintenance people.
As it turns out, on our wander home we found a petrol lawnmower dumped in a hedge near some houses. It looked like it'd been there for a few weeks, so we decided to take it home with us. On the way back we discovered it was out of petrol so we stopped at the next 24 hour petrol station to stick a fiver's worth in it. Surprisingly it started up straight away after filling up. We decided to give the nearby roundabout a free trim, as well as cutting back every grass verge we came across on the way home. When the grass verges ran out, we kept the mower running and kept pushing it home. The old bill turned up when we were close to home (well, a mate's home) and told us to stop mowing the pavement on the walk back.
I was slightly inebriated on this jaunt and while I wasn't silly, I can't remember much of the night. I do distinctly remember borrowing one of those flashy things from the top of the aforementioned traffic cones when the highways folk weren't looking. I presented it from under my jacket when we got back - only to be trounced by one of the other blokes who'd managed to procure a small dinosaur from somewhere (probably the nearby nursery). He'd picked it up early in the night and stuffed it underneath a Range Rover parked a few doors down from the house we were staying at. We weren't quite sure what to do with a 3.5ft dinosaur so we returned it to where it had come from the next day, not before one of the guys had stuck a sticker on it's face saying "I am a dinosaur called Rex, RAAAAAA."

traffic cones (about 20!!)
a police officers ticket book (turns out the officer left it on top of his car and drove off! was returned the next morning)
roadworks diversion signs
a 12ft light up christmas tree (i have no idea where i got it, just it was in the front garden in the morning)
the best of the lot, carried drunkenly home from a local tyre place!

The normal student obsession with road signs... Back garden was full of them.
Weirdest one was a 6ft bottle of ketchup... Not sure whose house it was from but I think my friends knew them. I just remember being drunk and climbing the fire escape to the top floor of some flats, climbing in through an open window and legging it home with a 6ft Heinz Ketchup bottle. :s

I procured a black frilly g-string last night, just found it in my pocket. Doesn't smell great to be fair. Now I'm wondering why the first thing i did was sniff it... like I'd be able to identify the owner or something
I'm building up a reasonable memorabilia collection this week though
