Most bizarre find?

I was cutting the grass today and found 2 pairs of ray ban glasses and case in the over grown front lawn. Stolen? Fake (probably). Only saw them as the mower spat out a cleaning cloth. Aviators aren't my style.
 
I found a pair of sunglasses can't remember if they where Gucci or Versace. I was walking to my local shop early on a Sunday morning and they where laying on the grass. Checked the numbers on them online and they seemed genuine so I'm assuming somebody woke up on the Sunday with a pair of £300 sunglasses missing and a bad hangover.
 
Found a ring while snorkelling in Thailand, handed it in to reception who took my contact details in case the owner couldn't be found. A few days later got a phonecall to say I could keep the ring (obviously they couldn't be bothered trying to find the owner.)

Got home, did some research on it and got it valued, found out it was worth nearly a grand!

Suffice to say I sold it pretty quickly, it paid for a PS3, loads of games and lots and lots of drugs
 
Hope this counts.
I found love in an awkward place.
It was shining bright like a diamond.
The diamonds were in the sky.

I once found myself mildly amused by something Jo Brand said which is definitely bizarre as she’s about as funny as piles.

Agree with you there. I've met quite a few so called 'Celebs' in my charity work and she was by far the most unfriendly and curt of them all. I haven't met James Corden yet and do not wish to!
 
When I was a kid I found a locked briefcase . Obviously prised it open and if contained loads of documents and loads of cash ! My parents wouldn’t let me keep it (spoil sports) and called the police and handed it over . Owner was traced and he gave me a fiver . I was well chuffed as I was about 8 but god I would have love to been old enough to have had a good rifle through it …..
 
My brothers used to put markets stalls up when Stockton was at it peak , they were stored in old dilapidated buildings in green dragon yard area . Now and then random things used to be found there . A steam iron , a Jaz singer album were 2 items o can remember . I think thieves used to stash things in there on Saturdays.
 
On the walk to school once, probably aged about 10, I happened across a poster from a porno mag of a lady with very large melons.

I thought it would be funny to put this in my mates draw at school for him to find. Which it was until he decided to report the incident to the teacher the spoilsport.

In a shocking miscarriage of justice however, no one knew it was me so the class troublemaker and prime suspect number one for all rogue activity got the blame. You'd think Id feel more guilt about it, but I really don't. I did confess to him many years down the line.
 
My parents took over a pub once it had a weird room at the back of it containing an old fruit machine, lots of old books and a Zither Harp, also some old truncheons (one of which had what looked like blood and hair on it) and an old cartridge unit from what I assume was a cigarette machine which had some No10 packets in it though I cannot remember the brand.
 
I found a tenner on Kensington Road on the way to a game in the late 70’s or early 80’s. My dad made me hand it in to a copper who took my details and called me later that evening to say no one had reported it missing and I could keep it. My dad took me to the police station to get it a day or two later and I got a letter from the copper for thanking me for being honest. I was only 9 or 10, I felt like a millionaire. Part of me still thinks it was a set up and I was being taught a life lesson.
 
You may call bull**** but I assure you its true. About 20 years ago after working in Belgium for a year. I'd been on the dole for 3 months and I was skint.
While working in Belgium, I'd had a contract where I was paid a certain amount into a Belgian account to pay for my expenses. I managed to save about 9k euros out of that money which I withdrew when I left the country.
Anyway, one day, when I thought I'd spent all the savings after a good period on the dole I was looking for something else in a spare bedroom (I forget what it was) and decided to look through my back pack that I'd had in Belgium. I found €3000 (three thousand euros).
I've found the odd 10/20 quid in old work stuff since but nothing like that and never at such a time that I needed it more.
 
I was about 9 (1967) and playing down the Arty over Tollesby. Found 4 large boxes under corrugated iron and covered in branches. They were full of bottles of Whiskey/Vodka/Rum and Thousands of cigarettes. I was with 2 mates and we rang the police who come. They told us that a wine stores had been broken into and this was from that. Told us there would be a big reward.
I went home and told my Dad. He said did they take your name and address. I said no and he asked how I was going to get the reward. I was gutted when he said that will be all at their Xmas party son.😲
 
In my front garden, cutting the grass one day, I found a sea bass. Wrapped up with a tesco label. It may have been making a break for freedom.
