By that, I mean something like:

  • Money
  • Jewelery
  • Watch
  • Bag of clothes (someone could have forgotten it at the mall or something)
  • etc.

Essentially anything of value. Stealing is a nono, I'm just talking about straight up finding something like on the street or in the parking lot or whatever where no real owner can claim it.

The reason I brought this up is I found a 20 dollar bill folded up sitting on the ground on the walk from my lab to the parking lot on the University campus. I thought it was one of those fake folded in half joints that the army uses to advertise, like when you open it up it's a flyer.

But nope, it was a brand new crisp 20$ bill folded in 3.

So thats my latest and only claim to fame of finding anything of value.

Maybe some of you are luckier than I?

So far 100$ on the ground is the best thing yet. Someone must have found a ring or something more valuable.

I didn't find it on the ground perse, but the local FYE had a Xbox demo kiosk they had to trash, they knew I liked games & had a truck and offered it to me for free. It rocks & there are pics in my blog.

Well, sounds like a good find. Speaking of parks, my friend found a brand new camcorder. I think it was a digital tape one, not a new Harddrive camcorder, but still, parks are good places to find (and lose) stuff.

I found a sealed copy of Final Fantasy VII at Kmart once for $7. Sure, I bought it... I still call it a find, when one considers how much a sealed copy of this game goes for on eBay... 8)
