In our city, people will put stuff out on the curb, like furniture,shelves,etc. When my son was living with a couple of roommates, they picked up a chair to use. When they moved out a year or so later, my son took the chair back to the house they got it from and left it! Can you imagine the people's reaction when they got up the next morning and there was their old chair-found it's way home after all that time? Priceless!
