Today, while waiting to meet someone, I walk around on the stepping stones in a fountain.

When...!

I notice a paper cd envelope, bright red, sitting on the bottom of the fountain.

So I jump back onto dry land, shove my hand into the cold and grimy depths, and pull out...

"The Survival Guide to Soviet Kitsch"

Apparently the companion DVD to "Soviet Kitsch," a CD by Regina Spektor--which...the person I was meeting loves.

And after a little bit of drying, it works perfectly in a DVD player.

Seriously, wtf! :-|

So, what have you found in a weird place?

I found $80 in the parking lot of a McDonalds once. Seriously! We pulled up and I was in the passenger seat and I opened the door and right outside the door were 4 $20 bills folded twice longways. I picked it up (still in the car) counted and said..."Dude, drive". I felt a little guilty, but it passed when we ate at Outback Steakhouse instead of McDonalds.
 
Once at some company I looked on top of the employee fridge and found a "Growing up Gotti" dvd just laying there...I kept it.

Don't ask why.

My theory: your friend got there way too early and decided he/she didn't like Soviet Kitch anymore, then dumped it in the fountain.

Found a $200 camera lying out in the wilderness once when I was out fishing with my family. I screamed *insert seagull picture from Finding Nemo*. :)

A few years back I found a dirty diaper at my local arcade. I'm walking around and get hit with this awful shitty smell and when I look at the ground I notice the diaper lying next to an NFL Blitz cabinet. How or why it was left there, I'll never know.

I was in a public restroom once and someone printed out a picture of a planters peanuts can, but with a custom logo on it: "Deez Nuts." I just found that kind of funny.

Smells faintly of rancid stilton.
I once found a bag of weed in a wal-mart parking lot. I smoked that Shit ...er I mean I turned it into the proper authorities.

:lol you find the weed and the scooter at the same time? :p

I can't really think of much I've found. Hmm, my friend always jacks shot glasses from clubs whenever we go out though! :p Not for me, but he's given me ONE. I guess now I have that one, and one I got from work along with a spout ^_^ It was funny because they're running short on shot glasses, I just kept a straight face :p

Hmmmmm apart from that, I guess the coolest thing I've found was a Zippo at my old job, someone left it by Guitar Freaks...*yoink*! It had a picture of Vanilla Ice or someone on it, and some inscription, obviously a graduation gift.
 
I found a GBA SP charger in Chinatown in NYC. It was in perfect condition and I almost took it, but my girlfriend told me it could be some kids and guilt-tripped me into leaving it there. A friend and I found my girlfriend's cell phone in the gutter when the snow started to melt. She had lost it a few weeks before. It was all busted up and in a few pieces. When I was at work the other day someone found some dentures in the dishroom. It's not that odd 'coz I work in a nursing home.

Haha, nah. I let my friend take the stranger's weed. I crashed into the car because I was doing insane tricks (read ollies over bushes next to the curb) and ollied too close to a car trying to earn trick points.
