My MIL bought a coat from BHS once and when she got it home and showed it off it had a dirty hanky in one pocket and a small purse with a couple of pounds in coins and a bus ticket (for a week earlier) in the other.

I sold a pair of my son's trousers containing his pen drive. I was just putting them in a bag when it fell out. He hadn't owned up to 'loosing ' it at Christmas so it was brand new.

good warning

I got a skirt from ebay and it had 10 euros in the pocket my sister sold a small handbag on ebay and the ladt messaged her to say her driving licence was in it :eek: she posted it back though

I once bought a pair of trousers with £3 in the pocket, but usually the only things I find in secondhand pockets are used hankies. I have to check my son's pockets when I wash his clothes, since he has a bad habit of leaving things in his pockets. I recently rescued his watch just before I put his trousers in the washing machine!

Slightly off the topic..
Went to the horse races once with the OH optimistically trying to win enough money to buy a new duvet set. We arrived 3 races into the meeting and as lateish they let us in free, and then in the heaving betting ring My wife nudged me and through gritted teeth said "there's a £50 note under my foot". I did the old shoelace undone routine, and that was us, job done.:D

I got an itchy ankle in Vegas after spotting a $5 dollar chip on the path way. My mum was also cured of a bad back when she spotted a £20 note in a betting shop.
