Not quite on the same scale but I did some work in a restraunt then when I went the owner was serving us and running round a lot for us (he owed my boss money ) and he gave my missus the wine menu and said whatever bottle you want is on the house, the wines ranged from £13 up to about £100, my missus picked the cheapest .
Got home with this bottle of wine a chateau margaux and it looked a tad more fancy than the other Jacobs creek etc so had a search on the interest and it seemed it was worth about 200 quid which I was joyus about then I read further that there were 3 years where the grapes were better, 1989 was one of them. So I sold it to the antique wine company who I guess sold it to a collector.

a couple of years ago me and my mates used to go round the back of big shops on a retail park and have a look in all the bins, one day i was looking in PC worlds when i found a box covered up with black bags, opened it up and it had 5 brand new Palm PDA's in it 4 of them were the same and one was a bit better than the rest  sold them for about 70 quid each to one of those cash converter type shops
another time behind the same shops but this time in currys bins i found a chrome 4-slice toaster, chrome kettle, steam generator iron and ironing board to go with it, all boxed brand new! looked like one of the staff had stolen a load of stuff to come and pick up later, luckily i beat them to it
what finds have people had off here?

I found a diamond once. Quite a large one, took it to a jewellers and they confirmed it although couldn't value it because of its size.
A few years past, took it to a specialist who said it was actually a fake Proper gutted

Porn in the woods Also a mutli pack mag, still sealed, in the middle of a country lane at night.
I found a nudist camp, does that count? that provided some entertainment in the summer many years ago. Riding through the middle on our bikes
Dad found a motorbike, claimed it, rode it to work for 2 years.
Few odds and sods, £10-£20s. Nothing majorly interesting though Im still waiting to find that bag of stolen cash one day

So obvious that someone from PC world dumped them there to collect that night, he had probablly been planning it for weeks, bet he was proper gutted when he turned up to pick them up and they were gone.
