Roadside finds

Oh and my dad found a dead body once. Well his dog did. Lay by off the A5 near Cannock. Suicide it was but dad had to attend police, coroners etc. I think he was a murder suspect for a while.

Typical Polis, getting the wrong suspect all the time - they should have put the dog in dock

Driving home from Copenhagen on the motorway, I ran out of petrol about 200 mtrs from a petrol station.
While pushing my bike on the hard shoulder I came across a wallet with about £80 in it.
The wallet also contained some ID from a doctor in Copenhagen so I posted it to him minus a small finders fee.

Wheels trims don't count, although my dog likes them as they fly like frisbies

Once found a bottle of Lucozade at the side of the road. It was sill full

I am thinking that carries a warning akin to "don't eat yellow snow".

Was it worth picking up?

I do remember seeing trashed cassettes with tape hanging from the trees, and just to show my age 8 tracks as well

The best thing the stranger picked up was my tool belt I left in a lay-by in Warminster. Lots of nice kit in that one

Recently..

An assorted set of 10 brand-new bungee cords.

A two-into-one lighting lead adaptor for a newer style towing socket.

And a large enough stack of laminate flooring to properly bling my garage loft space

My trained eye comes with experience folks, from the age of about 6, while the other kids were playing in the park, I was busy diving into skips

I once found a deer standing in the road at 4am while travelling to work at 60mph.
It became roadside very quickly......Does that count?

I dropped a Wolfman fender bag containing 2 HD inner tubes yesterday in N Wales.

Noticed it missing at top of the Wayfarer so rode all the way back to the road and up again but to no avail. Likely on another nearby trail. I remember one particularly steep, steppy climb where it might have bounced off. Sorry no grid refs as I wasn't navigating and we covered about 120 miles. If anyone wants to go and look for it you're welcome to keep it, at least it will go to a good home. About 60 squids worth of kit!! I am going for the rear rack option from now on.

This might help any trophy hunters!

Edit: see my next post

Looks very much like a picture of my varicous veins on a high blood pressure day !!

Maybe we need a "Lost and Found" thread?
