Were all these items all found in the one placeat the one time? Sounds
like
a truck load of stuff... literally!

No, all these things were found over many years and many rides in two
Victorian
cities. I know there's been other things, some of which were simply too big
to
carry back home (no, not parked cars..) but those listed were the common
ones
and ones I could remember.

I find Monday the best day for picking up spanners and screw drivers. I
reckon they work on the car over the weekend and rest the tools under the
bonnet while working and forget to put them away. A few corners up the road
they hit the deck.

My collection:
Shifters
Numerous screw drivers
new pack of screw driver bits
assorted small tools
cash

I had a Bruce smile at me, but decided against taking him home. :-)

Thinking how silly I must have looked carrying home a surveyor's

Ok, what use are wheel balancing weights? Do you balance your own car
wheels?
