[Closed] I found a wheelhub on the side of the road so stuck it on ebay

Yeah, why not?

Found a 'chopper' 3 speed sturmey archer hub/wheel, chopped the hub out (rim was dead) and gave it away on here (for postage).

Link? (to the wheel thingy)

Half an ounce of resin - found on the steps leading up to the MEN arena.

After extensive testing to establish the authenticity of said item, I decided to keep it.

A plastic wheeltrim?

Theft by finding technically, but really its just a bit weird as its hardly worth the cost of posting.

you mean a plastic wheel trim right?

Used to do some stewarding at Chelsea FC when I was a lad, we used to sweep the stands at the end of the match for valuables. One bloke found a massive bag of resin, cut up into eighths, the supervisor told him to take it down to the police at the other end of the ground. By the time he got there, the amount handed in was about a quarter.

my mate found a wrap of brown powder outside the shops once

he decided to neck it, then decided to walk across town to my house where I had to bundle him upstairs past my mum so he could have a lie down till his legs stopped spasming

Ebay is my friend
Don't see anything wrong with doing this do you ?
What have you found and sold on ?

Hope you are not advertising as brand new?

Mind you when I lost one I retraced my journey and found it! so someone else may do the same

I found a pair of "Biggles Goggles" of the type used by vintage motorcyclists at the side of the road whilst out on a club run.

After wearing them for the remainder of the ride, 8) I stuck them on ebay and got about 40 quid for them! Turns out they were quite sort-after ones...

Hope you are not advertising as brand new?

No of course not !

This was on the stairs that lead to the Arena from Victoria Station.

A gig had started about an hour earlier and the Arena often had security staff and/or Police at the top of the stairs.

I assume our stoned little hero had bottled it when faced with the prospect of a hard stare from PC Knapweed and dropped his half ounce in panic.

I was only using the stairs to get to the cash machine and there it was, waving at me 😀

Sorry your honor....

I found a dealers bundle at Glastonbury one year. A roll of 20s hash, speed and pills all cut and wrapped. We dined on that all weekend!
On the subject of drugs; a friend from Wales found a rather large quantity of resin washed up on the beach. Gave it all away! Unlike the greedy American we met in Mexico who pulled a massive bale of coke out of the sea. He had a van and set off back home with his retirement fund, despite our protests. We never heard from him again. Did he make it or not? Never found out.

Ah, honour amongst thieves.

My favourite find was a divers knife in the sea, it doesn't get much better than that when you're nine. I still have it somewhere nearly 40 years later.

That's terrible. You should've destroyed it, ideally in a series of small fires.

I found a sofa in my house. Ended up having to pay for it and lost my moral compass along the way.

It's probably slipped down the back.

Lift it up at one end, shake it and see if it rattles.

I found a womans left hand XL Harley Davidson glove in my front garden one morning last year.
sold it on fleabay for £15 to a German address
strange 🙂
