Last year I found a iPod touch 4th gen and took it to my local police station, 3 months later I get a call to pick it up as it hadn't been claimed...restored it in iTunes and voilà one free iPod touch xD
From the list of "things that would NEVER happen in Mexico". Here, not only would the police have kept it... in fact, Ipods and Cell phones are the items that the cops most often steal from you in "routine revisions". Hell, I feel a pleasant surprise just reading your post.
It would be the same in Brazil - cops would keep it to themselves :lol: @topic, cool stuff like finding rare items almost never happened to me, but my father is really lucky. One time he found a 2600 on a thrash can, alongside tons of gaming magazines.
Years ago I stumbled upon a SNES backup unit (Super Pro Fighter 2X if I'm not mistaken) sold on a big indoor market by a vegetable salesman, oddly... not only did he part with it for a pittance, he gave me 6 cartons of only slightly expired flavoured drinking yoghurt (I think it was raspberry but memory fades as it does) with it to boot! It was riveting! Oh, how I remember feasting on the stuff a mere few hours later, being stoned in a summery field on the way back (I had cycled to the market as I did back then). The stuff of legends... :nod:
The tip in Harrow, Middlesex has offered up some real gems for me over the years, when I lived there, bear in mind I only visited it when I needed to junk some stuff - I should have done a deal with the guys there as I think it would have offered cool stuff up all the time! 1) Acorn Archimedes A3000, with bag containing all cables, mouse, boxed games etc. 2) SNES backup unit, still boxed (one of those that is suitable for MD as well, and was missing the bridge adapter, but I managed to find one for sale eventually!) Went to dump a TV with my Father-in-Law a couple of weeks back, and even then I noticed an Xbox 360 Scart cable, and a GBA game in box on the side, but a guy was next to them, so could not have a good look!
