Socks
My elder brother used to know a crusty drug dealer who lived in a caravan in the car park of a derelict block of flats. This fellow was a full-on soap dodger with manky dreadlocks etc. His one luxury was socks. He would wear a brand new pair every day and chucked the previous day's pair out of the window, where quite a pile built up. Times were somewhat hard for the locals in those days and this fellow's castoffs were routinely harvested by other residents and taken away to a long and useful second life on the feet of a different but equally scummy person.

Oh, and my dad was DARTH VADER!!!!!!!!

Initially a pile built up.
Word spread of a mythical 'Sockdorado' at which point they would be swiped every few days. I did use artistic license in suggesting that some kind of Rumplestiltskin affair was going on.
