    The other day I found 4 car batteries on the curb that the trash man wouldn't take. Based upon how they were scattered on the grass area on the other side of the curb, I'm guessing that the owner tried to hide them in the trash cans.

    My best find of late was the $1100 recumbent exercise bike I got about 3 doors down from Ross Perot's house ( my job lets me curb shop in some NICE areas!!!!! There was a big pile of trash on Mark Cuban's side-drive this morning, but it was mostly brush & leaf bags. ).

    Once my wife realizes she's not ever going to use it I'll put it on CL & fleabay for $300, and take 200 if offered.

    The funniest find was last night: one roll of pennies, 3 one-dollar-bills and a baggie with $10 worth of dimes in the electronic cash register that I got from the resale shop that gives me their non-working/non-selling electronics. Not exactly a curb-find, but it's NICE to find cash money!!
