What have you found on the road?
Discussion
I keep seeing ratchet straps on the road, though I've never actually found the thing that they were holding in place. I found a complete box set of a series of Futurama, if I'd picked it up when I first walked past it, it would have been immaculate, now the packaging is a bit battered. I found someone's driving license the other week, and I've found quite a few credit or bank cards.
Maglite torch
Leatherman mini thing
£200 in £10s
Set of car keys. I spent nearly an hour in tbe surrounding residential street trying to find the Peugeot they fitted. Whe I did, I knocked the door outside which the car was parked and asked the lady if it was her car. "It's my son's, but he's out" so I handed her the keys and left. A couple of days later, I found myself in the same street and there was a note on the car windscreen saying "If you are the man who found my car keys, you saved me a lot of hassle. Thank you."

I was walking through the Northern Quarter in Manchester, stood at a junction/ corner waiting for traffic to clear. A flat bed lorry turned the corner and shed its load of new brass fittings, taps etc. The lorry didn't stop, I did what I could to clear the road pushing the fittings into the gutter, must admit the I filled my briefcase so full that the handle broke!
Ànother time I was staying at a hotel in north Norfolk at Brancaster. Went for a walk along the road, behind a hedge there were boxes for kitchen appliances, kettles, toasters and so on, must have been about 30 of them, all new and different makes. I guessed that there had been a robbery so didn't want to touch it, went back to the hotel and called the rozzers.

I found a really nice Stanley knife, blade extended, in the middle of the road about ten years ago. I still use it.
My wife seems to have a tallent for finding umbrellas. We have about 5 and only bought one of them. The one I generally use was in the middle on the road on the Swiss-French border.
