A toilet. Very bizarre. Only the bowl part of a toilet (no cistern or anything), but it certainly was confusing to see in the middle of our front room! (Student house)
It got used as an interesting plant pot for the rest of the year.
A "Walls" Ice Cream sign, one of the swinging ones often stood outside shops.
A computer, looking back it was left outside for the dustbin men, we though it was a brilliant find.
20ft Burger King Sign (was on the hockey tour, not sure how I manged to get it)
And a yellow ball from the uni pool tables (which I still have in my room!)
A varied collection of signs, this being one of the better:
Someone in my halls in the first year managed to somehow drag a huge roadsign from whereve it was originally and propped it up against someones kitchen windows - it totally filled it so you couldn't see out. They must have got a shock in the morning.
When I say huge sign, I mean it, the sort you get at the side of main A roads at fairly large jnctions, a coupole of metres wide and several high. Attached to loads of concrete. There must have been loads of them and I have no idea how they forced it out of the ground. As they dragged it, it had left groves in the tarmac on the footpath leading all the way up to the hall.
Half a lamp-post, a sign from a hairdressers & a chippy, full set of roadworks stuff with flashing lights and the stripey barriers (then set back up in the kitchen)
One of them flashing lights from a skip, remember we couldnt get it to turn off so I shoved it up my jumper while we staggered home, looked like ET with a glowing chest.
A road sign from wales! I woke up to find 3 taffic signs the house mates went on a road trip at 3am. I thought nothing of the signs till i realised they went quite english! Also got a lochness sign from loch ness!
