Hmmph. Granddad's got you beat. he built his house two doors down front the crest of a steep hill. He also put a layer of bricks across the road when they were putting the asphalt down. Any truck going up that hill would hit the 'bump' and anything not tied down properly would fall out for Granddad to nab.

@Thevy29 I went to a yard sale in a rural area near a bar. What was for sale was things commonly found in the back of pickup trucks, most likely parked at that bar. My ex had a number of things taken from his truck when he would go drink there....the man had dozens of chains, spare tires, fishing rods, ice chests, tools & tool boxes, etc. I asked him how he had so much stuff and he told me that he had accumulated things through the years.

@cherokeepatti Cheeky fellow. Couldn't of been me Granddad though. The only thing he got with his little trick was a big box of shoes. 20 left shoes, no rights. No good to him so he turned it into the cops. After 30 days the cops gave it back to him and the box was still in his garage when we sold the place... 😅

@Thevy29 Mostly what falls out on the speed bumps in residential neighborhoods is nails from the back of roofers and construction worker’s trucks...when I was walking I’d pick up nails I’d find in the roads and bring them home & put them in a jar.
