Six Months of Scavenging

Today I'm doing a photo essay on Lost & Found, the Street Scavenger blog. The other day I emptied the dark blue Rubbermaid tub in which I store all the goodies I pick up and sorted out the trash, the giveaways and the keepers. Below is a series of photos of all the cool stuff, minus a couple of items (notably the red Nike shorts, the Let It Snow yard banner and the Rubbermaid tub itself (found along the roadside, though not while running).

I kept all the Magic gloves. Mostly black, they come in assorted sizes. I
figure my daughters will lose some of theirs and these can fill the gaps.

 One assortment includes the Spider-Man rubber ball, an Air-Soft pellet gun, assorted socks, some ponytail holders, a thank-you note, a page from a book about firearms, a boy's clip-on necktie, a couple scarves, the Victoria's Secret bra and other trinkets.

 Soft goods include a 3X denim halter top, a black T-shirt, a white T-shirt, a brown women's vest, boxers, boxer-briefs, velour pants, a Hollister T and an A&F T.

Loads of little stuff: Much of it went into the trash.

 More soft goods: a black do-rag, a plush fish dog toy, a couple of shop rags and a variety of washcloths. I kept all of these but the do-rag.

These come in handy for dusting, shop work, bike work and general clean-up.

 I saved the Streaks stocking cap, the Monster cap (I think) and the camo face mask. The rest are going to Sal-Val or the shelter.

A mismatched mess of gloves. Some are right, some are left, some fit either hand. There are a couple of complete pairs in here and a couple of the Magic gloves -- I took this photo before deciding to separate the Magic gloves for their own display.

Also included here are some plastic candy cane decorations, a Polaroid pic and a lawn light.
