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.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....![]()
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
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.
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 found something strange down the front of my pants one time.
Dunno who left it there.
I tried pulling it off, but it seemed to be attached...![]()

I found a pet rabbit that had been missing for a year or so under the wood pile. He was flat as a plate.
Ride, eat, sleep, repeat!
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
