The Things You Find

Working in public places, Im always amazed at some of the things you find on the job. We found the basketball backboard about 5 months or so ago, it was lying in the middle of the main road that runs next to the parks. Must have fallen off the back of somebodies trailer or something. We kept it in the bunker area for about a day or so before we sent it to the depot. We even marked out our own little court area, but had to make do with the football we found as basketballs are even harder to find. We do find alot of tennis balls and golf balls about the parks. Alot of baseball bats and gold clubs as well. We've found clothes, unopened cans of fizzy drink, unopened cans of alcohol, toys and CDs. I dont find as many stolen wallets as I thought I would, we usually try to drop those straight off as the owners house (if it has details in it) as when we drop them off at the police station, they just dont want to know about it (I think they just throw them in the bin personally). Found plenty of small change and even once found a $50 note! The best thing Ive found by far though is a Crow Bar (like the ones in cartoons). I think it was left behind by the contractors who were pulling down the facades on the Admin building, it was hidden in a bush underneath where their scaffolding use to be. That a win for me!
