Things that turn up in strange places

My wife came to the head of the stairs and yelled down to me while holding a pair of ladies panties, "Whose are these!?!?"

I said I don't know. Where'd you find them?

"In the laundry!" she said.

They were too big for my girls, not my wife's and certainly I wasn't cross dressing on the sly.....

I don't know where they came from. :confused:

However when we were younger, before kids, there was a time she found a bra in my truck glove box, and from that day on I've been wearing my lucky hunting bra every deer season..... :p

My wife found a bra under the ironing board. Too small for her, too big for my daughter. Turns out it was my son's. Well, not really, but it belonged to the girl he managed to sneak in while we were upstairs. We also found the owner, who had run away from home.

It's funny now, it wasn't then.

Many years ago I was forced into a treatment center for alcoholism. My employers sent me pretty much at gunpoint, to save my job.

When I got ready to move from the detox to the residential unit I was re-packing my suitcase (an old hard-shell Samsonite with zippered pockets around the inner sides) when I felt something unfamiliar in one of the pockets. It was an old-fashioned manila pay envelope, the kind used when workers were paid in cash, and it contained a set of eight Polaroid pictures of an extremely attractive young lady who was...inadequately clothed, let's say. To put it mildly. I had absolutely no recollection where they came from, who the lady was, or who took the photographs. This really frustrated me. I figured if I was the guy with the camera, I must have had a very nice time that I couldn't remember.

Once I found a missing insurance policy in my refrigerator, but I did that one sober.
 
A buddy of mine had a photo he took on Treasure Island (San Francisco Bay) of what he swears is a penguin! I couldn't tell from the picture if it was a hoax or not, but he swore it was legit.
 
There was a manatee that showed up in the MS river around memphis a few years back ..

There is a seal that has been spotted in the city of Worcester in England several times in the last year. I think it was seen swimming in the flooded cricket ground at one point.
 
I once drove through new york.

Saw another white guy in harlem........guess you can call that finding something in a strange place lol

Also one time found a handgun sewn into the mattress of a baby crib at the dump.

Also found a woman eating pizza in a asian restaurant........find weird stuff all the time haha
In an Oakland, Ca. Mexican restaurant near the coliseum we found Asians running the place. It seemed so weird I just knew the food had to be great. Shows you what I know.
 
I was sawing up an old oak into 18 inch blocks for firewood that was about 4 ft. across. I found a horse shoe at almost the center of one piece. The tree couldn't have been over 6 in. in dia. when the shoe was placed there. I had moved all the blocks to a shady area before splitting so I don't the exact height from the ground. I wish the shoe could talk. I left the shoe in that piece of wood and have it put up and labeled. Larry
 
I was deer hunting in Meigs County, Ohio and followed some deer into a heavily overgrown area. I came into a small clearing and found an old school bus that had been converted into living space. It had a potbellied stove where the driver's seat used to be, a bed and shelves with old canned goods. There was a 1974 Playboy magazine on the bed. I told my cousin about the find. He owned the land I was hunting. He said he had heard there had been a commune on the property at one time but had not discovered the bus.
 
How about six 20s in a wad on a Pensacola, Fl street, then another right around the corner.

Was this before or after the blue lights?? Just kidding...really. Most I have ever found is a lonely $5 but I'd rather find the $20's like you.
 
Back to the panties in the car thing.... I had a really good friend who owned a boat harbor. He loved the harbor and wouldn't leave it. His wife was insanely jealous, but insisted on taking vacations. So one year she took off to Florida for 2 weeks with their kids. When she got home she found a ring in the back seat. She ragged on him for months over it. The ring was a kids crackerjack toy and they had a daughter, probably hers. It didn't matter, she had him dead to rights.

So the next year the day before her return, he cleaned the car. Used the shop vac for at least an hour. It was showroom clean. But the fool left the car unlocked! OK, we took up a collection. Then we sent one of our crew of evil doers out to a store. :) It helped that it was around Valentines Day. So he picked her up at the airport and drove home. But he had a bar to run down on the river, and it was a weekend night. None of us had seen his wife in a couple of weeks and I was pretty sure she'd be down after the kids went to sleep.

So in she storms, screaming. She did that a lot. But she was screaming because of what she found in the car, under the seat. It was a pair of women's panties, all frilly. He almost died on the spot. Then it got worse as she started to unravel them. They were beyond huge. Our buddy had gone to a big and bigger shop. He bought the biggest set of sexy underwear they had. Hey, nothing is too good for a friend! :D

When she finally got them all stretched out, they were at least 72" around. And no one could keep a straight face. Lots of jokes about "a lot of lovin". And his wife even called him an idiot for leaving the doors unlocked with all his friends around. With friends like us, who needs enemies?
 
If your house.....

My wife came to the head of the stairs and yelled down to me while holding a pair of ladies panties, "Whose are these!?!?"

I said I don't know. Where'd you find them?

"In the laundry!" she said.

I don't know where they came from. :confused:

If your house is like mine, it's always full of neighborhood teenagers who leave EVERYTHING there and always end up in our laundry. I can't say that I've found anything feminine (though I expect that any time). Maybe one of your daughter's girlfriends??
 
I loaned my Father a coiled roofing nailer. Several months later I needed the roofing nailer. Dad swore that he remembered returning it to my wife. Nope no roofing nailer was returned said the Mrs. Shortly after this conversation we move to a new home. We thought that we would find the roofing nailer during the move but no such luck. I buy another roofing nailer in order to roof the garage at the new house. Six years later I am in my parents garage with my Mother. I asked my Mother what is under that sheet? Oh that is the antique stove that we bought some time ago. She then remembers that the instructions are in the oven and wants to take the instructions in to the house. She flips the sheet back opens the oven door and said what is that? I said oh that is the roofing nailer that Dad said that he returned to my wife six years ago! So now when my parents misplace something I ask have you looked in the stove?

Guess he should have had one of those S&W Heavy Duty .38-44's bought by the B.C. Provincial Police about 1940. I've seen pics of them in the forum for guns of that era. The RCMP gpt them when the forces were joined.

Who were the McClean boys, and when was their crime spree?

My only real panties story involves two pair that I bought a girlfriend. Her parents found them in her car when they borrowed it the next day. She told them her boss had left them in there when he sold her the car a few weeks before. They were under a seat still in the store bag, so that was just possible.

The "boss" told her to just keep them, so I got to see her in them. Thankfully, the parents never asked her boss about them.

I don't know why she didn't just say that she'd bought them and hadn't brought them in the house yet. The styles were more daring than she'd been wearing, so her mother might have questioned that.

I have found other people's clothes in my laundry in apartment laundromats. I just left them there. But I think I've lost socks in them.

Somehow, a Swiss Army knife disappeared from my bedroom, and I think I know where I left it. Maybe a maintenance man came in and didn't leave a note, like they're supposed to. Nothing else was missing. I still hope that knife turns up, although I replaced it.

Oh, I know! I thought I'd lost my favorite little 6X20B Zeiss monocular a couple of years ago. I thought it must have fallen from my coat pocket onto a restaurant floor, but they hadn't found it. Probably stolen by whoever found it, right? It wasn't in the car.

A few months later,I found it on my closet floor when looking behind a box there. It must have gotten home okay, then fallen out of the coat after I hung it up. It landed on soft carpet, and was undamaged, thank goodness. It cost several hundred dollars and that model is no longer made. I am delighted to have it back.

years ago i worked at a sawmill here in central ky that bought walnut logs we would run a metal detector over the logs when they were delivered,i asked why they did that and was told it was to check for any metal(DUH) like fence,or bullets or anything that a tree could grow around,then i was shown an article in one of the trade magazines about a company that found a flintlock rifle inside a tree,had some really neat x-ray pics showing the weapon from all angles,you could see the flint,and also the lead roundball still in the barrel,always wondered what could have happened to the owner
