I'm not sure I'm allowed to count this because this is the Road Biking forum and I was Mountain Biking, but a couple of years ago a friend and I were on a trail out in the woods and wandered by a couple in the middle of the act. They didn't seem to pay any attention to us as we went by.
Over the years I've seen plenty of nuts/bolts/bungees/tools like many of the others. I still have a small crescent wrench that I found on the side of a highway when I was a teenager. I've only found money once, a $1.00 bill that I've kept in my saddle bag for more than 20 years. |
I found a canvas pouch with a metric spanner set in it today on my way to group ride. I stopped and picked it up and turned around and took it home (only 5 mins away), made me late for the ride then and I missed the bunch. It is a good spanner set too, not a cheap K-Mart one.

This one still pisses me off:
I was 17, out on a training run in the hills about 20 miles east of Sac, and spotted a purse along the road. It had clearly been rifled through but still had ID, so I brought it home, found the lady's # in the phone book, called her and she came and picked it up, very thankfully. All fine....until three cops knock on the front door. Turns out the lady she had a kid with her that said he saw the guys that took it from her car in the first place, and I looked like one of them. One cop stands on the porch on his radio, two come inside and grill me, basically calling me a liar - like, you just happened to be bicycling out there, for no reason, and we're supposed to believe that? My mom had to hire a friggin' lawyer who pled it down to something that would go off my record as a minor. ....still burns me up. OK I'm officially raging over here thanks to your story. I will never help another human, and if you need any assistance with revenge, I'm your man. |
I was riding on Broadway uppermost Manhattan (about a block from the Broadway Bridge to the Bronx) a year or two ago and took a right turn rather than stop at the traffic light. On that street I saw some cash, $6 I think. It was a windy day and something told me to follow downwind from there. A block down I picked up another twenty, then a 10 and a 1, and finally a five. $42 in all over 2 blocks. There was nobody at all around either so I couldn't see anybody that may have lost it.

I found...
the keys to a newer Jeep a 4 inch steelhead knife that was very nice (I still have it) Not much else unless you count potholes. |
There is an avocado tree on my route. Last week there were some windfalls. I didn't take any because it's at the base of a climb and I didn't want the weight, but I seriously considered it.

$10 bill
a bow tie cool stickers on the road that I peel and stick to my helmet |
