What have you found on the road side recently

[Globalti]

I also found a cow's head with a hole in it, in a ditch. I used to stop every day and stare at it, I was 15 at the time.

Otherwise little of interest, a few bungees and an empty laptop bag. It contained some business cards so I rang the owner who wasn't interested, saying it had been stolen from his car months before and he had been paid out by his insurer.

Not me personally but a friend of mine who’s a farmer, has had a piano and a suitcase full of live pet rats dumped next to his gates, being pedantic anything you find and keep is in the eyes of the law classed as thieft

Scan the same bottle twice.

Not possible, a bottle with a valid legible bar code is swallowed by the machine and a refund docket printed. Bottles without codes are rejected and no docket printed.

I took the foot to the police station. They were a bit uncertain as to what to do and none too happy I had.

I hope they didn’t say if no one claims it after a month you could keep it

A bag of marijuana. Probably been thrown out of a car that was being followed by the police.
I dont smoke puff these days, dont even smoke at all, but when i did i would have been well chuffed with finding it. Gave it away to a few mates.

I once found a mans body laying in a ditch as I cycled past, I quickly turned around and really nervously approached, I prodded his shoulder and he woke up saying he was tired and was taking a nap!!
Apart from that I’ve found a multi tool and a back light, both on mountain bike trails.

Just remembered that a couple of years ago I found a full crate of milk bottles inside a field entrance; some of them were broken and from the position it looked as if it might have bounced off the back of a passing milk float and slid or bounced into the field. I moved it back onto the verge and the next time I passed that way it had gone.

TomTom sat nav- which I still use

 

[bladderhead]

What a way to be kicked by a cow.

 

[Gravity Aided]

A nice balaclava, a multi-tool, a dead badger, a light for the front of the bike.
A wallet, found in winter, so I just rode ahead, and found the lady who was running, and lost it.
Otherwise, the police are right near the trail as well, and I just would have dropped it off there.

 

[Globalti]

They wouldn't have wanted it. We found a wallet in a layby somewhere up in the Highlands, rang the Police and they told us to drop it at the main cop shop in Glasgow. I actually can't remember what we did with it in the end but we didn't take it to Glasgow.

Yeh road finds are another great thing about cycling, some really macabre finds on here though, i have found plenty of £10 and other money too, found an old cycle cape, hung it up on a fence with a note on a local path for a week, no one took it, lots of porn mags and plenty of left or right gloves , things you dont see much of now are porn mags, cassette tapes, maps and CDs are getting less.

 

[fossyant]

Nothing ! I'm usually too busy riding !

 

[Gravity Aided]

I forgot, I also found goggles,and a drift pin. At different times, mind.
