Like the title says, what is the strangest thing you have found people have left behind?

I went out this afternoon for a smoke break from work. Walked down to the bench seat overlooking the childrens playground by the river and low and behold spy a pair of crutches laying there. Look around for the owner, cant spot anyone limping, hopping or even crawling around. Ask the parents in the playground if they saw anyone who might belong to them, no was the answer.

Cant leave them there for someone to steal (again?) so take them back to the I-site where I am working. Ring local Police station to let them know we had them should someone crawl in looking for them. But how weird, a pair of crutches, abandoned.

So come on share your - I found this story...

Boring story....but I found a bike race licence sitting on a chair at a motel in Taupo once. Problem is said biker was at the track trying to sign in. What a Noob!

Apart from that...ummmm...false teeth sitting on a park bench. Never found the mouth they once belonged to left me with visions of Mr Gummie for ages

One of the strangest things I ever found was a fork. What made this particular fork so special was that I found it in my front garden, in a mad fit of digging this fork appeared, in the same pattern as the cutlery in our drawer in the kitchen. Now here's the thing - we weren't missing any forks, our set was complete so doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo (twilight zone effect, in the absense of real sound effects) how's that for co-incidence?

O....how's that for co-incidence?

I found a wallet once. On the roof of a 2 story building I was working on. Still had the license and ATM card in it, though the wallet was considerably sunbleached and weather beaten.


.... It was mine !

Had been stolen from my car about 2 or 3 years earlier, about 3k's away.

I distinctly remember one time having found what looked like a used female masturbation tool in a shopping mall... that was after i had picked it up (thank fuck from the other end :eek:) to examine this said item. I must say I recall that being fucking the strangest thing i've ever found...

it was about 5 years ago when i was 13 or 14 i think... at that time i had only just learnt the existence of such a... tool. I was mortified....

good thread.

Hmmm, that would be in a truckie lay-by in Englandshire. A sainsburys bag with a long black wig, 2 foam titties, a blouse,mini skirt, stockings, bright red man size stiletto shoes and a banana with a condom on it.:gob:

Before you accuse me of being a pervy hobo that pokes around in bins, the contents of the split bag were strewn on the ground, I merely poked them with a stick, as you do. Investigative poking if you will.Which coincidentely may have been the function of the aforementioned Banana eh :laugh:

Many years ago on another planet..... well it was Aussie actually - Brisbane to be precise, my first husband and I had just arrived and rented out a reasonable and furnished house whilst we got settled and looked for something else.

We had been in this place for a couple of months and I lost the keys down the back of the couch - we couldn't get at them properly and after some time decided to rip the bottom off the couch and get at them that way.

Imagine our surprise when we pulled out...... a sterling silver charm bracelet complete with a full complement of charms, a diamond ring, a sapphire ring and a very large and convincing looking CZ. Had no real idea at the time of the materials and hopped pretty smartly down to the local constabulary.

Lo and behold - after I had enough of snakes in the laundry, fist sized spiders on my pillow and cockroaches that don't die when you jump on them (ooops sidetracked that's another story!).... Where was I??? Oh yes we were preparing to leave Aussie to come home to NZ, and the cops tracked us down to tell us the objects were not claimed, they could not find the previous owner of the couch and they were all ours!!

This is more of a weird things you have lost post.

My mother left my newborn baby brother behind when she and dad went visiting the inlaws to show him off after he was born.

The inlaws kindly stopped my parents just as they were about to drive off: "Aren't you forgetting something?"

Unfortunately I was using the lawn mower at the time.....

LOL perhaps, just can not imagine how someone that needed 2 crutches to get around could wander off and leave them behind. Picking they were stolen from some poor bastard and left there.

When I was about six, I was outside the local dairy for some reason (begging? Prostitution? Waiting to mug someone? Can't remember...) and this man cam out and threw some rubbish from his pockets into the bin. I noticed (mebbe when I was trawling for food from the bin?) that he'd thrown away a large handful of money. I took it out, and went into the dairy with it with my sister, and gave it to the dairy owner. Apparently, later that day there was a reward, but my sister got it. Thieving bitch.

One of my motorcycles (XBR500RS Mutant) was "a found item". My bro-in-law found a grumpy hitch-hiking biker on the side of the road who said, "Wanna bike? You can have the fuckin' thing!" I painted my bro-in-law's roof and helped him put up some guttering, and it was mine.

I found a woman once. Well... she was only a gurrrrl, but I soon turned her into one. She still works OK, so she's still around.

Warning! The following post is true but of a graphic/tragic nature, sensitive readers may want to skip it.




The single most weird thing I ever found was, a pair of legs, absolutely true.

I responded to smoke issuing from a house with two elderly housebound occupants. Through a doorway leading off the kitchen was a coal shed where lay one of the occupants, it would appear this person had lit a fire in there to keep warm and been overcome by the fumes.

Although a very small house, the second occupant was nowhere to be seen, all the doors and windows were locked from the inside and the neighbours were adamant that both the residents were housebound, no fire damage except in the coal shed and strangely,some charring on the bed in the lounge. As we pondered the mystery my eyes kept being drawn to an incongruous pair of gumboots on the bed.

In a blinding flash and in a very high pitched excited squeak, I said "shit boss, I think I've found him!", and indeed I had for there in the gumboots were two unmistakable, well preserved, from the calf down, legs.:scratch:

The official line was that two elderly people died in a house fire, overcome by fumes because no one could say for sure what had occurred but we all had our own theories.Bizarre!

Apologies for putting this in a light hearted thread but if you can put the tragedy to one side, it did happen 30 years ago in a land far far away, I think you'll agree, A pair of gumboots with legs in em qualifies as a pretty weird find.

i joined the air force straight out of college at 17yrs old.. during a good night at the bar an associate and i decided it would be fun to set our pubes on fire, as a result we were charged with offensive behaviour in public and punished with a few days cb (confined to barracks).

during one of the many room inspections we had i nearly had a heart attack, the attending flight sergeant was inspecting the drawers under the bed when he stopped, went white, then opened up at me at 115 % volume "wtf you dirty little **** *****..."

using my immaculately polished dress shoe he removed the filthiest soiled pair of undies known to man then proceeded to grill me one why i was a dirty little bastard, and the ins and outs of personal hygiene.. my "associate" had stitched me up and i got 3 days more cb..

dirty bastard

One of the lifeboats from the Wahine.

Just over the fence, they are legendary hoarders.

Has been converted into a proper boat, self-righting I'm told. Doubt it will see water any time soon.

A guy I met at Waitara put in a tender for two of the lifeboats from the Michael Lermentov (sp?). His tender was really low.

He received a reply asking if he'd like to increase his offer.
He wrote back, "No thanks."

In due course he received two perfectly functional lifeboats. The finish wasn't flash, but then they cost him something like $100 each!

Friend was convalescing here, acting like a right stupid child - actually no, a child wouldn't be that stupid. Complaining of chest pain, wouldn't take his angina spray, or his meds with food, nor would he eat, told him if he was that ill to go to dr that day - didn't, got home he's not talking and in pity party big time and stormed out, no goodbye or thank you - He left his angina spray behind and the emergency card that I had asked him repeatedly to wear in his shorts pocket at all times and told me to fk off.

There's stubborness and then there is utter stupidity.
