What is the weirdest thing you have found in the street?

[MIGrandma]

Just this morning, turning onto a freeway..a loaf of bread.

My mother was driving to work on one of the freeways around San Diego. As she drove, she saw a human head on the side of the road - just the head...no body. It had long black hair. When she got to work she called the police and reported it. The officer she spoke to told her that heads are found on the freeway way more often than you'd think!

a couple days ago a woman's arm.

My favorite was a bank bag - fully loaded.

Oh man. Too many to list, I will post a few below. I walk on my lunch break, and I am known for posting the odd stuff I find on my walk on Facebook. It has been suggested I sell a coffee table book with them all

Funny you should ask. I have the strangest feeling this is a "sign" but can't imagine how it relates. When driving down the interstate or road, I very often see one shoe. It is strange how often this happens to me hence the feeling this is some sort of message. Go figure

Too funny...I happened to see one cowboy boot today!

When I was I my mid twenties i was driving back to my boyfriend's apartment complex with him and we saw a huge white snake across the road. I have a huge fear of snakes and did not want to leave that thing roaming around so we called the non-emergency police. They sent cops only. They questioned us and then they called animal control. Animal control came and thankfully found the snake - I would have been paranoid for a LONG time if they hadn't. It was a 9' albino python that was either an escaped or illegally released pet. The police then explained that they came first because insane people often call and report big white snakes that they think they see. Lol They were pleasantly surprised that this time it was real.

This isn't exactly the open road. But once, in a Costco parking lot, my son found a boxed crystal platter sitting in the bushes.

Not exactly the road either, but on our terrace... Used condoms and used feminine hygiene products. The first one was gross enough but we live on a lower floor of an apartment building and a teenage boy lives upstairs so we figured he was trying to "hide the evidence" by tossing it out the window. We could never figure out a plausible explanation for the feminine hygiene products, though.

And you can bet I made poor DH slap on some rubber gloves and go outside and clean up the problems. I sure wasn't touching those things!

We once found an elderly man in the street in front of our house. We took him inside and called the police. An officer came and went through his wallet and found out ha lived a few blocks over. The officer came back and said the the family was mad we called the police and didn't just go through his wallet and called them and not the police. I would never go through someone's wallet and would just call the police.

My brother found a little boy once. It was back in the 60's. My brother was maybe 7 or 8 and the little boy was 3or4. He and my mom walked the neighborhood with him and found his home. Funny thing his dad and our dad went to high school together.

The lost child reminded me of the time I found a little boy walking in our neighbourhood. He ended up being about 2 yrs old. I went up to him and tried to talk to him about where his home was but it didn't work. No one came out looking for him so we started going around the neighbourhood seeing if someone came out to try and find him. No such luck so we started to go house to house. By this time it had been over an hour and I couldn't believe that no one had missed him. We finally found his house and the person looking after him just took him by his hand and brought him into the house telling him he shouldn't have left. No thank you, no being upset about this little one gone. I had to shake my head.

A very large fish. I tend to forget how close I live to the Chesapeake Bay and how many large birds prey on fish then drop them.

I really have to ask how a human head and arm could be found on a street. Especially if it happens more than once.
This has bugged me all day. I just can't figure it out. I live in a city over a million and don't recall ever hearing anything like this. I can't wrap my head around how this could happen. Pun intended!

I am in total agreement with the PP - where in the sam hill hell do you people live that random decapitated heads and severed limbs on the road are a routine find?

A partially consumed jar of store brand mayonnaise.

And once someone left a plastic bag full of groceries on the sidewalk. I don't know if the rightful owner ever retrieved them.

 

[endy]

Still waiting to find out how random body parts are seen or found on a street.

Other finds posted are pretty good. I like the fish. The snake as long as I was in a car. I found a small bag of pot while walking the dog, dropped it into the nearest garbage can.

And once I found a picture of a man and someone had scratched the name "Lamont" into the picture.

Big dummy.

 

[pocomom]

Found a wallet, tracked down the lady that lost it. Left messages with her kids, finally got a hold of her and she hung up on me

A bag of pot . . . no I didn't keep it and yes I threw it away.

I did too once.
