It followed me home

Just another part of city living: things that people have dropped or thrown or put out on the street. Not garbage or trash, but (possibly, potentially) useful objects that are simply lying on the sidewalk, sitting on a stoop or propped up on a street-level window sill. Every urbanite has seen and passed them without a second thought: a random glove, a newspaper, a shoe. Here are some of the things I've recently found on the street and liked enough to bring home with me:

Ceramic coffee mugs

Record albums

Cut flowers

Computer software (shrink-wrapped, unused)

Books (many books in many languages)

Money

Cashmere scarf

Wristwatch (yes, it works)

IKEA bookshelf

Magazines

Folding umbrellas

Golf umbrellas

Videotape of The Emperor's Club marked "Academy Reviewer Copy"

IVAR shelf unit
