I always watch for stuff in the road

[Ratt]

I found a German couples bag that had their Passports and other such important stuff in it when I was in DC on 9/10/01. We walked to their hotel and gave it to them with barely a thank you. Imagine the crap they would have been in the next day if we hadn't got it to them.

I'm glad my wife decided she wanted to go home and we flew back that day. We were supposed to leave at 8 am on 9/11.

Shit, man, I was supposed to be on one of the flights that hit the towers. I was on stand-by and missed the flight, thankfully. It still gives me chills to think about it

When I lived in DC the must I would find were stolen cars. Crack heads would find everything else.

I have a roadhat collection. I'm always on the lookout for hats on the road.

When I lived in N. Cali, I found the frame of some kind of pistol (have no idea what kind as I wasn't into guns then). I brought it home, when I told my mom what it was she made me turn it in to the police. Turns out it was used in an armed robbery/shooting in Fresno Ca and dumped in the backroads by Mt.Diablo state park.

FWIW I've known Jyro's son for ~15 years and Jyro/Charlie is a stand-up guy. I still run a radiator in my 2nd fox I bought from him in 1998.

He's not up to anything, you can trust him with the info.

Jyro bailed me out once with a small problem that was important to me. Him and his wife are good peeps in my book.

I'm curious as to how so many people in here find shit on the highway? Do you guys live by highways, or go out and just walk on medians to find the stuff?

I figured it was from their community service obligation. This board is filled with DWI experts.

Found a iPhone one day, chick was from AZ. Called her mom and told her of it. We met back at target. She was very grateful that I had returned it. Of course, I checked her pics and no nudes

fuckin weirdo......i do the same thing I've been looking since i was a wee lad. I've found beepers, cellphones, money and jewelry. i found a wedding ring once that was stolen but had the name engraved on the inside. i googled the shit out of the name till i found the owner. ...cause im a swell fella

What do y'all do? Pull over then go play frogger?

The thing is how do you pull over and get that stuff ? Im am to scared to just get over on the shoulder and walk out on the interstate

The first two items I listed, I found on bumpy side streets by my job. If its not secured, it will find its way on to the road. The A frame ladder I found on 287 in Mansfield. I can't remember where I found the reciever hitch, that's been along time ago. The jack I found in the middle of a rural intersection. And to answers Trips question, I drive a truck, so I'm always driving places I would otherwise never go to.

Just this week, I found a Craftsmen electrical pliers and a 4 way. Years ago I found a 6ft. fiberglass/aluminum A frame ladder, reciever hitch with anti sway and best of all, a 20 ton pneumatic jack. The kind they use to change tires on semi trucks.

I'm always watching the road for things. I've stopped more than a few times when I see something I don't recognise. I didn't recognise the camera because the lense was broken off it and it was in 2 pieces with the camera face down. I made a u, parked on the shoulder and retrieved it.

There was a large gun bag with a fully automatic Colt M4 carbine in it and 5 magazines loaded to the top. Amazing that someone would leave shit like that.
