Oddest thing found/seen lying in the road?

[delport]

Good set of darts found on the main road over to portsmouth [A27], i found the owner, remarkably, within an hour.

The owner could have been any one in hampshire, but it had a note inside that gave me a clue [league matches in the darts tournament] so i thought, i know where one of those pubs is, took darts to the pub and the orignal owner travelled to pick them up from the pub, and thanked me by email.

He had them on his car roof, drove off, and they blew away onto the A27.

On the way home tonight an MP3 player and headphones - looked like quite a fancy one - was a honest fellow and handed it into the police station on the way past

My favourite one was a long-handled broom in the middle of the A64 last year (sporting injury meant I had to go in the car) Though I've seen a ten pound note, six £1 coins and a bundle of hay on seperate incidents.

Saw a suicidal peacock wandering around in the middle of the road on my way home the other day! Hope nobody ran it over!

I've not been to the right bit of Fishponds for a year or two now but it used to be a regular occurrence to see a peacock wandering around the streets. Me I normally end up finding bricks and large stones and feel the need to remove them out of the middle of the road. And of course lots of pot holes but they are so common not to be considered on this thread!!

Driving up the A38(M) Aston Expressway many years ago, saw a set of steps fly off a car roof, and then land upright and with legs splayed out, as though someone had put it there like that.

I was out on my mountain bike on a sunny day once and saw the sunlight reflect off something on the bridleway ahead. I was watching out for glass but discovered that the light was reflecting off the hologram on a ten pound note. I treated myself to a Chinese and a few beers with that!

A dead fox, but mostly bits of brick

Underpants!

Not when I was cycling, but once when I was walking through Partick, I went down a side alley and came across a pair of pants. Now these were big and looked like they were from a woman, but the thing which made me quicken my step was that it was full of shoot . Now, a kiddie, that is something, but an adult??

I have found numerous £1 notes and coins over the years and occasionally a £5.

A dead fox

I was walking to work a year or two ago, and came across a dead fox which had obviously been run over and then moved to the side of the pavement. There it was, still barring it's teeth for all to see.

It lasted a couple of days before vanishing.

On different occasions I've seen fly tipped a caravan, a pile of tyres and down a rough track a man living in his car and two very embarassed men fly tipping from their transit vans
