Stuff we find on rides thread

[Biciclista]

yesterday, just as we passed one of my favorite stores in Seattle, Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe, I noticed a tiny doll in the street. I told Raleighdon about it, and game as he always is; he went back to get it.
While he was circling, I saw a large american car with two happily gabbing women run RIGHT OVER this poor little doll.
Donald followed behind, snatched it and said "It's in great shape!" I found that hard to believe after watching a 1 ton car run over it.

When we got home, he finally handed it over to me, it was a lonely little scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. It's hat is what suffered the most, but, hey scarecrows are not known for their great garb, not usually. The second photo shows him searching for his friends.

What a cutey!! I'd say it's a lucky sign.

Maybe he can be penpals with Ruby and her little gang of ruffians!

Keep us posted if he ever finds his friends.....

DH and I found a tablet of blank police tickets by the side of the road.
On another trip we found a bunch of empty boxes of Levitra (ED supplements).

Last month I found a honking big Dewalt cordless drill. If anybody has a charger, I could use it.

I have found in the last year;
a cordless drill ( turned in to the constabulary )
2 bikes ( also turned in )
a handful of bungees ( kept )
a pair of tinsnips ( returned to owner )
a ballcap ( kept, washed, and appreciated )
a truck wrench ( given to a friend )

thanks for rejuvenating this thread. Recently I found SAND!!
EVERYWHERE SAND! and pieces of car tire chains.

I wasn't on a bike at the time (I was walking) when I came across bags and bags of Chinese finger puzzles.... I still have a few of them kicking around the house.

I'm new, so they are all new to me. Expect lots of bumps!

Sand? I hope it wasn't too awful.

That was so good to read, bet she will be happy in your garden.

Immediately next to where I live, the heathland starts and when riding along there last week, noticed a pair of men's jeans............the mind boggles as to why, how and what was he wearing when he left!

Not sure if this counts, about 5 years ago, one Sunday morning I looked out of my kitchen window, to discover somebody had dumped an old skanky mattress on the TOP of my little car, the poor old aerial was all squished underneath!

One phone call and the local Council removed it, almost immediately.

Now THAT'S bizarre... who does things like that?

This morning as the sun was coming up, a big wave crashed sending a beautiful seaspray in the air about 3 feet above my head (riding on the 101 freeway along the pacific ocean, in semi darkness) In my gazing at it in awe, I found something sharp that gave me a flat. When I walked to the off ramp to fix it, I found a commercial type cooks apron. DH uses those to work on the bike. It came home under my jacket after I fixed the flat! Tokie

Now you guys have got a lot to answer for, especially Biciclista's story of the small doll.

I seem to be scouring the road for what might be laying about.

Well, yesterday when I went out for my 12 mile ride in the pouring rain and wind, I noticed little NoBody.



Not sure why but I thought it was quite sad, once a cute doll with an owner that loved her but now, nobody.
