    Rarely find anything but when it comes to losing things I'm probably king numb nuts.

    Left all my money, passport and official documents in Tel Aviv airport soon after arriving. I left the airport security point which meant it took about 5 hours to get back in, shitting myself all the time that they had gone.

    Went to the bank here in Sunderland after coming back from another jaunt. Left my bank details, check book, passport, birth certificate and god knows what else official on the counter and walked out of the bank, only to get a phone call from them telling me they were there, shitting myself all the time they had gone. Thankfully this was before we started to get our identities stolen on such a large scale.

    More recently I had planned a trip to Amsterdam and lost all my spends, pasport and booking details, only to find them a week later down the side of my bed, still fucked up the trip for me. And finally, I recently went fell walking in the Cheviots and lost my car key. The meant I had another adventure to get home and back there with my spare to bring home the chariot.

    Yeah, I'm a prized prick when it comes to losing things.:dupe:

    Found a bag of weed at Eastern Haze. If I'd seen the person who'd dropped it I would have given it back to them, but it would have been impossible, so I thought I might as well give it a good home....

    Litter picking at Glastonbury this year I found a pretty swanky mobile phone, at least 16 cans of lager and four pound coins :) And that was nothing compared to a couple from New Zealand who were on my team...3 bags of weed, "a shitload of mdma caps" and two wallets! (Cash content I never asked about)

    I've found a £20 pound note once in the past. That's been about it really. Oh, a friend of mine once lost a microdot acid in my bedroom which I found. But that doesn't count really as I knew it was there somewhere and looked pretty damn hard for it! :)

    I don't think I've ever lost anything too important, I'm struggling to think of owt now anyway.

    Wow John, you must have had a helluva successful last day! When I spoke to you on Sunday night all you'd found was two quid!

    Aye the mobile phone was on the last day. Turned out to be knackered like. And the lager wasn't really worth mentioning, there was loads of it kicking about.

    Our team leader had this little buggy he used to carry all the bags in. By the end of a shift it was spilling over with beer!

    I usually find 3-5 wallets or clutch purses a year. I think its fate that I find them because they all get returned to the rightful owner. I once also found a bag of weed but I kept that. Cheers!

    In my defence ;) - I did try to 'return' the mobile I found. Called the number on the sim card and that. They told me since it wasn't a contract phone they couldn't find the owner and that it had probably been cancelled.

    The acid I was told I could keep if I ever found it :)

    Money, well, would of been impossible. It was in a nightclub. I'm sure if I went and started asking I'd of found 100 people who'd lost twenty quid. Wether they could of been believed I kinda doubt!

    It wasn't directed at you buddy, it wasn't directed at anyone inparticular. I was just joining Lithium's facetious stand but added a touch of pepper for heat. As the thread says 'finder's keepers....'

    Litter picking at Guilfest I found 9 American cents and 2 Euro cents. How random...

    I also lost my love of all humanity, or should I say I found a true hatred of all humanity?

    :D

    Well to be fair I've been teetering on the brink of nihilistic misanthropy for a while, but it was working traffic management that tipped me over. Having to deal with selfish twat car drivers who swear at you and call you nasty names because you won't let them park in an emergency fire lane, two minutes closer to their tent than parking in a proper parking space.

    Cunts!:D

    And damn that festival was grim, from start to finish...

    I once found a Creative Zen Micra mp3 player in the street, it was a bit smashed up but still worked.
    I also once lost my little mp3 player by rolling down a hill drunk and my bag came open and I didn't realise it was gone til the next morning. I lost my oyster card that night as well but got it returned to me by some guy who found it at the bottom of the hill 6 months later!
    My boyfriend is always finding little pieces of tatty kids jewellery on the floor and giving them to me, I've got an absolute collection of plastic bracelets by now.

    My little sister found a £20 note on the beach at Hastings! All soggy with sea spray but once it dried out it got us all a few rounds of icecreams lol. Easy come, easy go...
