Stuff I've found
Freddy Woo writes, "My non-prostitute-killing, lorry driving uncle once came home with a wedding cake. Found it in a layby, scoffed the lot over several weeks."
What's the best thing you've found?

My kids claimed to have found a baby at Shell Island.
I said naaah, no way! People don't leave babies lying around!
But it was true.
They'd found a toddler of about 3 and a half, who'd sneaked out of the back of the family tent and gone off to find the beach.
She'd got stuck halfway down a little cliff thing thing, surrounded by spiky plants, and couldn't get up or down.
The kids and I formed a human chain and dragged her up to the top, and I stood her on the bonnet of my van so she could point out where she'd come from.
In the distance we could see a woman blundering about in more of the spiky bushes, dementedly calling a child's name.
I asked the toddler, who's that? and she calmly replied 'Mummy!'
Mummy was obviously fraught with fear. This was soon after James Bulger's murder, so I can imagine what was going through her head.
We attracted 'Mummy''s attention and the child was soon returned to her family.
When Madeleine McCann disappeared, I bet 'Mummy' thought of my kids and blessed them.
