While riding, I have found: three smart phones - First one I was able to get into, find the phone number and dial it from my phone. Turns out it belonged to my neighbor, just three houses down the street. He set it up on top of his truck before he left for work and it had fallen off on the side of the road; the second phone I found over a year later was password protected and I couldn't get into it to try to contact the owner, so I turned it into the nearest sheriff's office. Third phone I found in about September/October, six or seven months ago. Not password protected, so I dialed a contact labelled: Sue - sister. Sure enough, it was the sister of the owner, who said he had already called her from his landline and was very upset that he had lost his cell phone while riding his motorcycle. She gave me his landline number and 20 minutes later we met up at the local crossroads and he got his phone back. He tried to offer me $10 "gas money" for my trouble and honesty, but of course I declined.

I've also found:
-- couple of screwdrivers (not very good ones)
-- a crescent wrench: good quality in its day, still works but has obviously seen better days and probably got run over a time or two
-- some scrap wood, some of which I brought home on my back rack - stakes and such, small 2x4s, etc. I use it to make small utility items, for carving/whittling and if all else fails, kindling
-- a ladies wallet: in good condition, but empty and wet
-- a DVD movie in plastic case: turns out it was XXX rated. I tossed it. I'm not into that sort of thing, and my wife probably wouldn't have cared for it, either.
-- four or five small coins: pennies, nickels, a dime laying in the road - still waiting for a quarter
