This is a question 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?

Best thing I found lately------/\/\/\/\ _/\_/\_/\_ - - - - - -
I was at the plaza a few weeks ago. After coming out of the convenience store I paused to zip up my jacket. On the curb was a $20 bill. I looked around and there was nobody in sight. It was pristine, right out of the bank nextdoor I expect. I looked to my right to see if anyone was around. There, on the curb to my right was another crisp $20 bill. Standing there like an oaf, I peered to and fro for its owner. Not a person in sight. $40....what to do with it...what to do? After thinking long and hard about this free money, I decided. My sewing machine has needed a new top tension and a complete tune-up for at least a year. Sewing by hand has been so time consuming. It would have cost me over $70 but now only $30! It's great having my machine working again. I've repaired everything that was stuffed away in my sewing box. All my extensive mending and altering was done in an afternoon. Thinking about what I can make next. It's not an exciting thing to spend a $40 'win' on but it's practical and has made me sew happy! If I hadn't found that $40 I probably would have left my broken machine in the closet until who-knows-when.
(Imagine if you could open your pair of jeans, shirt, etc. in Photoshop and use the cloning tool to fix them. Hmm.)

Photoshop your own jeans?
Fantastic idea!

Oh, and well done on spending the money on something other than alcohol or weed like everyone else seems to have done...
