Whenever I see a complete and intact automotive logo on the ground, I grab it for a Christmas tree ornament or year-round mantel decoration.
Our home now has several perfect Honda H's, one complete and shiny Toyota T, a squarish "F" from an F-150, and an SUV-sized VW badge with some animal hair lodged in it :/
I'm on the lookout for a Mazda M for my Dad who drives one.

So far, a couple of toddler socks and lots of different types of N-95 type masks.

Found this the other day; fortunately there was plenty of room to go around.

I don't see the problem; if that's your bike up there, your tires look plenty of wide to get through that chunder

Today I found a Craftsman ratcheting box wrench, but one ratchet part is rusted, so I'll take it to Lowes this weekend and get a new one if soaking it in WD40 doesn't loosen it up.

I had forgotten about this thread last September when I found two baby snapping turtles that had just hatched trying to cross the MUP I ride. They were heading away from the river and towards a parking lot, so I carried them down to the water.

Yesterday I found a smashed cell phone. It was on, but the touch screen had been reduced to rubble by traffic. I tried for a while to figure out what carrier it was or if I could call any contacts with the voice assistant. But it was locked. I waited for a call and only got one, from a bank who would give me no info who they were trying to contact.
I thought it might be a Verizon phone because I could make out the word "Wireless" on the screen. Today I took it to a Verizon store. I forewent a ride because the Verizon store is in the opposite direction from work. Friends let me tell you those guys do not want to deal with a lost phone that isn't theirs. I think they probably don't want to deal with a phone that is theirs but this gives them an out. They popped out the SIM card, which was bare of logos, and then told me to take it to the police station.
At the station, the lady at the front desk took it no questions asked except where and when did you find it.
I feel like I tried to do a good deed and had the ancient mariner's albatross for a day instead
