Nothing really for me. Various random tools.
Dad found a 8ft step ladder.
Younger brother found a bottom section of a summit climbing stand.
Buddy found a shotgun in a hard case in the road.
He tracked it back and returned it to the owner.

20 ft aluminum extension ladder and a ton of usa-made rubber tarp straps. Dad had me trained as a kid to pick those up without even stopping the car. 😆

Bimini top from a SeaRay boat someone tossed. Stainless steel and sunbrella. Held onto the thing for years almost sold it on Craigslist. Fit my current boat perfectly and saved me $600.

I found a length of fire hose in the road in front of Texas Motor Speedway late one night. I called 911 and asked them to connect me to the fire department so I could inform them. Operator then began interrogating me and wanted all kinds of info, which I declined to provide. I told her I didn't give a damn one way or another, but if FWFD wanted their damned hose they could come and get it.

One time I was driving a '64 Pontiac Tempest on a curvy road out in the county, and the left rear hubcap came off and went into a ditch. I saw where it went, so I stopped and walked back to get it. When I found it, it was leaning up against a really nice heavy duty chain hoist. I still have it, and have used it quite a few time throughout the years. Every time I do, I think about that hubcap.

Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

I pick up a life jacket every few years. I could have a few per yr. if I wanted to . One time , I was in central Wis. one morning and there was a jacket and sweater in the road. I picked it up and it had a checkbook with $80 in it. The checks had the address so I go out of my way to give it to her but the unit was vacant so I go home and my mom found her number and called. We sent it all back minus $10 for shipping. A few weeks later I get a thankyou card form her with the most beautiful handwriting I ever saw, signed Dianne Mari Hunstock.

I've found lots of hand tools. Last fall I watched a guy lose a DeWalt 20v recip saw off of his bumper, then followed him until he stopped. I walked up to his window to hand it to him and he just said "huh", grabbed it, then rolled his window back up. Ungrateful prick.
I lost one of my boat chairs last year on my way back from caribou hunting. The damn thing had been in the boat for thousands of miles all over the state, but somehow flew out on a flat stretch of road 3 hrs into my trip. Before I could get turned around some old boomer in his land yacht came cruising by at a about 50mph with 15 cars behind him. I watched him smash right into the fuggin thing and send it flying out into the rhubarb. Never even touched his brakes. No idea how he didn't see it, but I'm sure he saw some damage when he got where he was going.
