I found Trader Vic's cocktail glass with the ember stem at goodwill for 69 cents, when I figured out what it was ( I thought it was aztec ) a couple of days later it was gone. But the worst was a 12 foot tall carved cedar tiki that I believe came from the grounds of the Polynesian Village Apts in Tacoma.
I found it in the back parking lot of the B&I circus dept store, the store manager said that if I wanted it I could have it, that people were always dumping junk back there. It took me a while to figure out how to move this huge chunk of wood but when I did I went back to arrange the move it had moved across a field to become a parking bumper at a meth house. It was gone by the time I saw that the cops had boarded up the house, hopefully the methheads sold it at a flea market and didn't chop it up for firewood. O.K. after recounting that I need drink, sigh.
