Strange things you've procured on a night out.

A little girls pink Raleigh Bianca pushbike. Luckily once the drunken haze lifted the following day I recalled where I had "borrowed" it from the previous night, threw it in the back of the car and sheepishly returned it to the rightful owners.
Must have been a remarkable sight all 16 stone of me suited and booted drunkenly pedalling it home.

Mine was a child's tricycle, pink, with tassels on the handlebars. This thing was tiny and when sober I couldn't get my feet on the pedals when sitting on it, yet according to my mates I'd ridden it 3 miles home with them walking beside me. Like you I felt so guilty I made them tell me where I'd got it from and took it back.Must have been a remarkable sight all 16 stone of me suited and booted drunkenly pedalling it home.
I once walked 2 miles home ( I lived a mile from the pub so I went there deliberately) and took from the local Vauxhall dealers forecourt one of the huge flag poles they park on, complete with Vauxhall flag.
I woke up with the room spinning with the wife going off on one as it seems I parked her car on it when I got home, I have no idea how or why.
It was a very long cold sober walk back to the dealer with it!

A "friend" woke up on a strange sofa about 15 years ago with a blinding hangover. He was surprised to discover it was Sunday, the last thing he could remember he was in a club in his home town in Essex and it was Friday night.
No one was about in this strange house, so my "friend" helped himself to a large glass of water and headed for the front door. Just before he left he checked his pockets to make sure he didn't leave anything behind, happily he was still in possession of his wallet, house keys, cigarettes etc.
There was also a Ford car key and alarm fob in his pocket, he didn't own a car at the time.
Opening the front door, he was greeted to the site of a fully livered Essex Police Ford Focus badly parked half on, half off the pavement outside this strangers house.
With a sense of foreboding, he took the strange car keys out of his pocket and pressed the unlock button, I am sure you can guess which car these keys belonged too.
Taking off his jacket, He used it to wipe his prints off the interior of the car as best he could and threw the keys on the back seat. He then hot footed it down the road in search of a bus stop or cab office.
A few minutes later he found a bus stop, but didn’t recognise any of the place names....it was then that he noticed the Transport for Greater Manchester logo at the top of the bus timetable.
“He” thankfully has no idea if Essex Police ever got their car back from the mean Mancunian streets of Salford.

From a rugby tour:
A Guiness pump
A hanging basket
A 12' long sign with Karaoke details on
A 4' tall by 3' wide sign with "Dinner served all day" on it
Dart Board
Miners Lantern
All procured from the same pub and nicely put on display at the back of the coach on our way home.
I still have the Guiness pump in the garage

A laptop! Found it sat on top of someones bin in a case with charger and everything.
It was an ancient article and password protected so my housemate loaded linux on it and it still works 2 years later.
The screen is held up with gaffa tape and the fan is louder than the terrible speakers... but for a comunal laptop it does the job.

A 6' x 4' advertising board for an East German political party which amusingly read f
k in huge letters. Stuck it in the rear window of our shooting team tour bus at the end of a closing ceremony much to the appreciation of the English speaking teams present. The Team Manager was less appreciative and I got a massive bking for letting my country down. Oops.

Awesome Mark, please tell me you still have it?k in huge letters.

Oops.I 'assisted' 2 friends (brothers) to liberate a big flag pole from a new housing estate that was being built, the funniest thing I've ever seen was them hopping over a wall with the flag pole to hide as a car came down the road then hopping back over and carry on their drunken journey home.

holes. The pair of you.For some reason as a student it seemed unacceptable to arrive home without something. We were stopped by the police carrying a 10 foot garden gate once. Turns out I'm not a very good lookout as I completely failed to see the police car pull alongisde.
"Good evening. Taking your gate for a walk?"
"Err..."
"Go and put it back"
"OK"
Now I'm a grown up I have fewer tales, although we collected a few things when I had to organise a stag do. I made the groom a velcro suit so we spent the evening gathering things to stick to him
