Industrial gloves. Thousands of them. On every verge of every road since the dawn of time. I think it's a cunning plan by the North Koreans, but I can't work out what they're up to. I might even get a job an industrial-clothing warehouse and learn some Korean (Northern dialect) so I can find out and save the world.

Crikey, perhaps it is time to stop cycling through your local Ann Summers shop?!

I found a £20 note on the pavement/drive bit outside someone house once, I took it to the house, knocked on the door and John Virgo opened it. I said I found this £20 note, is it yours? Yes, he said, took it from me and shut the door. No thanks, nothing. I wish I'd kept it. self-gratification artist.

A steel tape measure, which worked very well for me for years until I accidentally left it out in the rain. A small (motorcycle?) toolkit containing various small spanners and a few box wrenches. A rather smashed up mobile phone. A large squeegee type thing with a thick silicone rubber blade, which I think is for removing water from a car before drying and polishing.

Found a tenner in the gutter today while out riding. I was on a linear ride, so some kind unfortunate soul has paid for my train fare to get me back to the start point.

A £20 note at a red light halfway round Hammersmith Broadway. I glanced down and noticed it just as the lights went green. Not wishing to be flattened by four lanes of rush hour traffic, I didn't dismount to pick it up. At other times, about seventy yellow golf balls on a grass verge ...and a motorcycle helmet, thankfully unoccupied by a head.

Too many questions asked about how I came by it.

This, not to mention living rurally, the closest police station is often not that close/convenient or easy to get to and 'next time I am passing' could be weeks away.
Though I have rehomed/returned/reunited a cashless wallet with a family by knocking on their door pre 7am and asking them if they had lost a wallet... I found it outside on the road and decided to chance it being that house. My first question was "I know this is going to sound odd, but what is your name please?" whilst clearly holding a credit card in my hand but not to the point that they could see it.... they gave the correct one, so I gave an explanation and handed over the wallet
