I bought a condo in Chicago back in 1998, sold in in 2002. Somewhere in there I went do to SoCal to visit friends, we went to TiJuana. I bought a ceramic monkey on a surf board down there. Brought it home and stuck it in a nook. When I sold the place, I left the monkey. The condo is back on the market, the monkey is still there.
