What's the best thing you've found?

I found ALL THE KEYS TO THE NATWEST BANKlyimg in the road, in a black leatherette pouch, next to the local branch.
About 18 keys, all sorts, including Chubb ones. I expect they were for the safes.
I handed them in to the nearby cop-shop and continued home. Within the hour a well-dressed but agitated middle-aged man was on my doorstep, offering me a large (but not vulgarly so) box of good quality chocolates.
He thanked me for returning the keys but wouldn't admit where they were from. I cajoled him a bit over it, as he pulled out a big hankie and wiped sweat off his forehead.
He looked to me like a VERY relieved bank manager.
The keys did belong to the Natwest bank, as the letter I had from the police a few weeks later confirmed.
