FWIW if you stole it you don't own it.

Posession is 9/10ths of the law.
And 'statute of limitations'
And 'finders-keepers'

Oh, I wouldn't mind giving it back. But getting caught with that in my luggage on the way to Europe would be worse than when they recently found loose ammo in my carry on. It's several hundred yrs. old, so I could dump it in the desert here and, if it were found, it would be assumed to be a European explorer.

I have a pair of Nike driving shoes built especially for Michael Schumacher.

They were built by hand; Nike would present him with a batch and he would try them all on to end up with a smaller batch that he would race in. The rejects went back to the developers at Nike to shred. These somehow missed the shredder.

It's hard to beat my dad in this department

1930's Dentist chair, fully operational including the cable driven drill:




or his coffin, that he made for himself out of scraps to make sure we wouldn't ever pay 5k for a "box to get torched it"

The most unusual thing I own is probably my 1985 LeCar. Bought it for $1000 after I sold my 964... found a set of 3 bolt aluminum wheels, and bolted in seats from an Audi A4

Why would anyone want to shave a badger. That has to be a horrible job to have unless you kill it or anesthetize it.

Off the top of my head I can't think of much... a couple of street signs from when Seattle was selling the old ones off about 5 years ago for starters. A whole lot of bent valves from the 924S (car came that way)... two or three shoeboxes full of Apple ][ disks with mostly games on them. Two SC20 hard drive enclosures + four 20MB hard drives that go with. Lots of Texas license plates going back to the 1920s.

That's right up there with harvesting mink oil. Who wants to spend their day squeezing minks? They're mean little buggers.

my dad flew C-47s around new guinea, india and into china. he came home with a ton of souvenirs. my mom managed to sell most of them at a yard sale. saumrai swords $5 each. buy two and get a free native mask.

one thing hidden away was a box of instruments, altimeters, artificial horizons, tachs, etc he scavenged out of a downed japanese plane.

^ that's bad ass!

My dad left me a bunch of flight instruments, but they're all common stuff, nothing exotic or valuable. (The Elgin clock would have some juice if it worked, but it don't)
