a motorcycle helmet, thankfully unoccupied by a head.

Looks like Classic is still way out in front on most-grisly-find!

A shoe with the foot still in it

Today i saw a garden statue in the cycle lane. The thing looked to be about 2 ft by 18 inches. I was lucky that it was in the uphill lane and not the descent!

Can I lay claim to the most expensive item found 4 Nov 2013?
Or the STOP sign 5 Nov 2013.

The Porsche or the silverware? I can't imagine you mean the shoe or the foot, although no doubt the owner misses their foot, and would pay quite a bit to have use of it again.

I used to know someone who had a garden full of road signs. Some of the larger ones he'd re-cycled as tops for small garden tables. I never got round to asking where they came from.

He also had a brass plaque stating:
'On this spot in 1863
Nothing happened'

I think he worked in the business of house clearances for a while, and combined with the fact that he was a bit of an oddball, he had ended up with the strangest and most eclectic collection of items I've ever seen.

Anyway, I think I'd like to try for a claim of most music CDs collected from the roadside. I take them home and listen to them (although many of them skip like mad). I think it's given me a unique insight into what passengers dislike in the driver's music collection.

Porsche, value was over £100,000. Stolen from the dealer.

But not the kind of thing you can stuff in your pannier pocket easily!

The most important things I have found in years of cycling is good friends, and lots of them.

True, but then I didn't fold the sign up or put the shoe in the rucksack either.

I found a Knog light. Sadly it was much flatter than when it was first purchased!

The shoe/foot thing was gross. I don't know how you brought yourself to pick it up, although the look on the police man's face must've been worth a bit when you plonked it on the lost and found counter.

First thought was, what had I hit. Upon going back to check I found it was a shoe, with something inside. Further examination found the foot inside. Given what was inside, where else could I have taken it?
It was in the days when the counter was open and it soon cleared when the the first officer took a look inside. Didn't believe me, so he'd to check.
