I've picked up several tools from the open road and taken them home. Figured they were a road hazard for tires and the owner would not know where to look. I found a 3/8" ratchet wrench in the road at the end of a driveway where construction was ongoing. I set it on top of a rock on the driveway culvert and watched it sit there over several weeks during several rides and finally picked it up and took it home.
