FOUND by Brian
in Los Angeles, California
My sister found this in our rental car when we visited LA earlier this year (We rented the car from Hertz near LAX).

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
I think it's a pair of binoculars.
I think they're dentures.
Don't get them wet, and for crying out loud, don't feed them after midnight!!!!!!!
Gaaaaahhhhhhh!
I think it's ben wa balls.
HMMMMMMMMM....... Maybe his gun collection?
condoms.
I think it's a pair of underwear.
Earrings!
them,.. a multiple of something.. hmmmm interesting. Maybe its a precious heirloom.
Yeah, finding.. never wear your ben wa balls to the airport.
My first thought was marbles, but I hope Clover's right about the binoculars. Does anyone remember that Calvin & Hobbes strip when he broke his dad's expensive binoculars?
Night in gale's sounds the most logical, but I like finding's ben wa balls. Haven't thought about those in years..oh wait, take that back I found a pair in my sock draw last week.
binoculars? Flargy, why?
I know if I was writing this note, it would definately be about my records. You never get those back. You hear that, Joe G.? Where's my copy of the Great Rock and Roll Swindle?
Clover is right - it's binoculars, but they have night vision.
Pepper, Did they have any spices on them?
car keys...and NOT for a Hertz car, that's why they ditched this note in the rental.
Nonononono, it's a nice set of Prismacolors.
Those bastards are expensive.
But my second thought was what Chillin already said - car keys.
Boy. This made me stop and think what I'd love to find this note on. My sister's cameras? My grandmother's emerald and diamond earrings that I wore at my wedding? My mom's collection of milkglass? I hope the recipient was super excited!!
I don't think its keys. You'd say "don't lend IT out.", not 'them', cuz you'd be referring to the car, not the keys. Lending the keys out, without the car, wouldn't make sense, now, would it? Oh i dunno.
Fishing Rods
comic books
children.
guns
the complete "Sparks" record collection...."Kimono My House" is a tough album to find these days, so don't lend yours out!
My first thought was baseball cards. I thought the way the paper has vertical creases, it could have easily been wrapped around a card-sized stack of something. The plural of "em" and "them" lets us know it's a collection of multiple items, which baseball cards would fall into.
Also, it seems to be written by a male and "love you kid" seems more casual, like talking to a son. I imagined a young boy, eyeing his dad's card collection for a long time. The dad finally thought he was old enough and gave them to him, but doesn't want him lending them out. They might get bent corners, or not returned.
My first thought was children. This note is from an overworked single mom of three misbhaving boys, the oldest of which was picked up by the police yet again last night for vandalism.
When she first started dating her now ex-husband she used to call him "kid" and he found it charming and endearing since he was 2 years younger and he was always glad she didn't feel wierd about it. Later, after a bitter divorce, "kid" started to be used more in reference to his immaturity, though he never picked up on the change in tone. He thinks she still calls him "kid" because she still loves him.
Now, 6 months after the divorce is finalized she's getting rid of the children too. She's fed up! The manager at Denny's doesn't let up - she never gets a break and he wont stop calling her sweet t*ts. She sent the kids to their dads with the note in an envelope and she's hittin the road. Good for her!
Roller skates!
Some sort of pets - hamsters? fish?
An older brother passing on the prized porno collection to his little brother - of course.
"They're yours!...But don't lend them out."
Ok, so that means they're not really yours, they're still mine, if I think I can call dibs on what you do with whatever they are. Cheese.
Give with no strings attached, or don't give at all! Open your hand and let the person take the gift, and stop trying to grab it back. If you give it to someone, it's no longer yours. And you don't have a say as to what they do with it.
It's probably just a huge book of CDs or something. Or maybe vinyls.
Hmmmm... I think they're books. Maybe a series, like the complete set of first edition Nancy Drews or...? Something that the kid always loved but wasn't yet old enough to keep safe, thus the warning to not lend them out--because the parent isn't completely sure if the child realizes the value.
Yep, you are only issued one set of testicles ,so take care of them.

breasts. it has to be breasts. SURPRIZE! And don't lend them out!
Golf Clubs..definately
My first thought was sunglasses, but my money's on baseball cards.
Robley, when you make that into a film can I be involved?
Peachy in the South is the only one who's nailed it. Of course it's a stack of porn!
@ Flargy Yeah I remember that Calvin & Hobbes strip where he broke his dad's binoculars! I used to love Calvin & Hobbes! : D So many good times. I loved his adventures on different planets when he was supposed to be taking a test or something
Gremlins!
XBox Controllers.
The 'kid' can now invite friends over to play Halo and of course he shouldn't lend them out because those suckers are expensive!
I think it's pencils...nobody ever gives back a pencil.
Weeeow. All day and no one picked on the note writer for the misspelling of SURPRISE!!
Go Team!
Surprize is spelled with a Zed in some countries. So it is not misspelled Lil'Ol'Me.
Cutthroat Joe, what country is Surprise spelled with a Z?
The Z in surprise indicates to me that it was written by an older sibling (most likely an older brother to a younger brother)- the surprise is not misspelled, it is to make it more exciting. Surprise SHOULD be spelled with a Z. Much more exciting. Anyway, what could it be... porn, baseball cards, testicles, guns? all good guesses. My guess? hmmmmm. porn or guns.
you're right natalie - its totally porn. big brother is going away to college and is leaving little bro his collection of porn mags. no question about it.
When I first read this, I thought it said, "Don't LET them out" and came to a similar conclusion as Stapler. Then I read "binoculars" and "dentures" and thought "Don't let them out" would be a weird warning...pictured binoculars and dentures on the loose...and decided to re-read the find. After an "ah-ha" moment, I now just feel silly.
Guns definitely guns.
