    Whats the best thing you ever found? Did you look for the owner or did you just keep it for yourself?

    I found a gold chain on the forecourt of a petrol station and left it in behind the counter. It was claimed but they did leave me 20 quid as thanks.

    My dog went missing today, she vanished into thin air. I was in such a panic and spent over 1 hour calling her name before leaving to get more people to help me look. As I was almost at my front door a girl appeared around the corner with my dog in tow. Have spent the day trying to figure out where she went.

    A stash of dirty mags in a hedge when I was about 12 or so.

    I was so popular for a few days afterwards.

    Found a diamond ring on the main street one day years ago on route for a pint. Left it into the barracks and it was never claimed. A year and a day later it was mine!

    Was travelling home from work on a rainy Winters night years ago , one of those nights where the windscreen wipers were even getting worried about the falling rain , anyway I noticed that I was short of petrol ... when low and behold I found a petrol station.

    Found €500 on the floor of a shop. The good citizen that I am, I handed it into the post office, which is at the back of the shop I was in. The following week when I was there again, the owner of the money had left a €40 reward for me. Sweet. :)

    Found a €50 note on the cistern in a pub. It was left behind by somebody snorting a white powder. I was in college at the time, had about 20 quid for the week coming, but of course I drank it all that night instead of feeding myself!

    €400 in a carpark. Someone had dropped a bundle of €50 notes. Noone in the carpark except for 2 ladies chatting in the middle. I picked up the notes and approached the 2 ladies to ask if someone had dropped money or anything. They looked me up and down and ignored me. So I went into the shop to ask if anyone had been in looking for money they may have lost. Didn't mention how much. Early Sunday so none in there shopping at the time, had to ask a staff member on the floor. Noone looking for it. I assumed it belonged to one of the ladies but when I went back out, they were gone. Can't recall what I spent it on. Was broke at the time so most likely overdue bills and some shopping :/

    Found a phone - answered the phone when the owner's parents called it and planned to meet them at a local shopping centre to hand it back. Mother very thankful and gave me chocs and wine, father looked at me as if I had stolen the phone (I hadn't)
