    There's a local sports complex in my town (soccer fields, baseball fields), I've been walking there for years. There are a couple of tracks, but I like walking the parking lots.
    I've found all kinds of unique garbage over the years, I feel its time to keep a record of it. :rolleyes:
    Please join me by posting anything you might find that kinda makes you go o_O.
    A box of chicken bones in the Walmart parking lot? Lets have a peek!!
    A pair of socks in your dentist's parking lot? Yes please!!
    An empty can of Red Bull in front of Buffalo Wild Wings? Eh....not so much.

    A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of finding this monkey suit...a true gem!!:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Check snowplowed piles at mall parking lots in the spring. Lots of money to be found if you're there first as it melts.

    I found my workbench table laying in a parking lot on the side of the road.. has a couple drawers on it, a vice and it fits right between my wall and my garage door. I only had to assemble it. Overall win for me, total loss for whoever lost it lol

    Not in a parking lot, but last June I found one of these on the drive home from work. I've wanted one since I was a kid!

    I remember hitting one of those with the plow truck and launching it 100ft plus away. Funny enough I found it in the spring when all the snow melted. Was alot heavier than I thought they were. It was incase in metal. Back when I worked for county highway dept.

    Mine's all plastic, was held down with double-stick tape! I know there are some impressive adhesives out there, but I'm amazed these things stay stuck as well as they do.

    I think the one that i hit was coming unattached to the ground. One side must of been sticking up just a bit. Enough for the plow blade to grab. As far as I'm aware new jersey uses the metal style I guess the tar is used as glue when the pave the roads when they place them in. But agree you rarely see them detached from the road.

    How about an adjacent to parking lot find?

    Yesterday my coworker and I get back from dinner, and I remarked what a good idea it was to park behind the hotel instead of fighting for one of the front spaces. He responds oddly. "Which way does your room face? Have you seen what's next to this parking lot? Take five minutes and walk through the hole in that fence." Okay, thanks for getting me murdered in advance, but I'll play.

    Oh. Ok. It's a cemetery. A cemetery that only has nuns in it.

    A weird, completely unmarked, not adjacent to anything, and yet suspiciously well tended, 1800's cemetery for nuns.

    Well, that beats the typical discarded condom find. o_O
