A baby grand piano. We were half way across the car park before the night manager arrived and told us he wouldn't call the police if it was returned undamaged redface

The same friend and I also managed to get a golf course sign and place it across his girlfriend's parents' drive.

Numerous items from rugby tours / away games...it's a ritual.

One of the best was a 4ft dia. ships wheel. Wierdest thing was it was procured from a club in Sheffield?

The road signs for each of the roads I lived on at university

Numerous cones

Skip lights

A no ball games allowed sign - now lives on the wall over my bed

The most subtantial - a Traffic light (red amber and green type)...careful removal of the electrics meant that a caravan type connecter meant it functioned quite well....

Ha ha!

A guy I know pinched a traffic light whilst pissed.

It lay in his house at Uni for a while before he got bored with it, opened it up and wired all the lights to a standard household plug and it made quite a nice lamp in the living room smile

Some friends bought a dog for £120 from a guy sitting on the pavement.

A rather large staffy,not stolen I may add.

Was in my local about 5 years ago and got chatting to a guy who was hammered.He had just been thrown out by his wife and him and the dog were sleeping rough.He just wanted someone to take the dog and look after it and I decided that I was just the man for the job.

Bought said drunk a pizza in return for the dog after he refused money.

Wife was not pleased when I got home but we still have the dog 5 years later and wouldn't part with him for anything these days.

Many years ago, when a friend and I took a Mini 1275 Gt across europe for the hell of it! Large french Village sign, strapped to the roof of our car, had to be abandoned before the journey home!

Dinghy from a local boat yard, three of us placed on a zebra crossing, then sat back and drank more beers! sods law, first car that appeared was a Police unit, he did not believe our story of having been washed up etc, so made us return it!

Lovely bench from outside a local house, took back to a mates, discovered it in the morning, pang of guilt, quick call to the bib, told them we had found it in the garden!
Transpired the owners had reported it stolen, came and collected, and insisted on giving us £20.00 for our honesty!!

A full set of sequential flashing police lights, 8 of them to be precise, you just line them up and they organise when they flash, no idea where they came from or how, just woke up to find them in my front garden one morning and i hadn't been out.

Nothing unusual except i'm 12 miles from the nearest town and not on a route from anywhere to anywhere!

I forgot one, remembered after a story above... this was after my school leavers ball...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/liverpool/content/articles/20...

A full on scarecrow shared a car journey back with and then found its way onto a pedestrian crossing with it's hand out telling people to stop. Yep, 4am, next car was a police car. We ran, they caught us, we denied it, he asked why I had no shoes on and then asked where we'd been.

Stupidity overtook and we told them we'd been at a leavers ball in Thornton Hough.

"Odd that" he says looking at the scarecrow.

Then he puts the scarecrow in the back of his police car and leaves.

But to be honest it's all the better for being a police car turning up! Would have been very funny to see.

I remember at a friend's apartment one night, and it got onto a discussion about getting rid of some pots and pans. So a couple of her friends decided to help out and take them. Later they went off into town carrying their pots - always wondered if they managed to get them past bouncers and home!
