On Christmas morning 2020, I found a bunch of high-quality ski boots & equipment in our trash cans. Some were brand new with tags. We thought it was odd, so called local police department, and set everything aside. Turns out everything belonged to a family on their way to the ski slopes. The family got most of their stufff back and posed for a photo!

You just never know what people are going to vacuum when they are at the wash.
Over the years I’ve some pretty cool stuff at the car wash.
One Monday we drove into the car wash there was a expensive 3 person tent with nice sleeping bags, small backpacker stove, a lantern and a bunch of personal items, no ID. Looked like they took out of the back of there car and left it. I kept it for 90 days and then gave it to my kids.
Another time I watched a guy wash 4 big chrome wheels for a full-size Chevy truck and 4 big mud tires. When he got done washing everything he drove off. I yelled at him that he forgot his wheels and tires, he flipped me off and kept on going. I kept the stuff for 90 days and sold everything, the tires had about 90% tread left on each wheel. I think I got around $500 for everything.
One time I found 2 unopened cases of 24 per case of a special 3m air fed hood power supply. I looked them up and each one was worth $250. It took me awhile, but I sold everyone of them.

I found a really nice shark vacuum sticking out of my trash can one Sunday morning. at first glance I thought it was a Weedwhacker!
I took it apart and cleaned it all up and it worked perfectly. I still use it to this day. It's a great little vacuum. Somebody used it until it got too dirty to have any suction anymore and then threw it away.
