Strange things found at the car wash

I found a penguin skeleton last night.

That cold snap a few months ago must have attracted them.

Ha! The things people leave are mind-boggling -- we've found all sorts of furniture, a brake disc, and a rifle left in a gun-case next to one of the trash cans (was turned over to the police). Sometimes bullets, used and unused, are found in the wash bay, syringes. The list is endless.

I found a horse saddle once that no one ever claimed.

I found a blow-up doll, but my buddy Greg Pack came by and claimed it.

A couple of weeks ago I got a expensive tent, 2 sleeping bags, sleeping pads, gas stove and lantern and a ice chest. On the video It looks like someone went camping took everything out of the back of there truck to wash and drove off and left it. I wish they'd come back for it it's taking up a lot of room in the equipment room.

That's a pretty score

A couple years ago I found one of those old steel reflector frames that they bury into asphalt roads laying on a vac island. It was much larger than I expected.

Found a nice Stihl blower over a month ago.

Once, I was dumping trash and saw a brand new dinner plate with the label still on it. I pulled it out, wondering why someone had thrown it away. I also saw an open Amazon box in the trash. I pulled the box out to discover seven more identical plates, with all the packing still in the box, less the one plate that had slid out. My wife had recently purged most of our dishes and sold them at a yard sale, because they didn't match our remodeled kitchen theme (never figured out what difference it makes since they can't be seen while stored, but whatever). She hadn't gone and replenished because every purchase must be postponed until Black Friday (or is it African-American Friday?), so we only had four plates in our cupboard for a couple of years. To this day (about five years later), we are still serving family on those four remaining blue plates and my eight white dumpster plates. Oh, and we don't even live in that house anymore.

Once had a woman call in a panic about a lost engagement ring. Seems our vacs have terrific suction and she lost it off her hand before she knew it. We recovered it for her from inside the vac bin and promised to never mention a word to her fiancé

Guess that all ended well for her.

I found a big crate of tools one time. The owner called me and said that he had left them there while visiting some relatives. He was from out of town and I wound up UPSing the whole thing back to him. He was very happy about that.

Of course they didn’t. Horses can’t talk - unless it was Mr. Ed.

A couple of weeks ago my son found a wheel chair, walker and cane and still has not been claimed.
