I bought sweatpants in a thrift store. I wore them for a year. I felt there was a coin inside the lining, but there were no holes in the pockets. Eventually, I got really sick and tired of it because it was rubbing my leg when I walked. So, I opened the lining and found a 5-euro coin.
Back when I was a student in the 1980s, I bought a tuxedo from a thrift shop. It was in good condition, since these things generally don’t get worn much, albeit a rather old-fashioned style. The first time I wore it, I found an invitation in the pocket to the “High Wycombe and district grocer’s association dinner.”
The note described the menu to be served, which seemed rather austere given it was a food industry event, but then listed 2 proposed toasts — one to “the association,” and the other was to “the King” — bearing in mind the Queen had already been on the throne for nearly 30 years even back then. © Hywel Davies / Quora
Halloween a few years back, my husband and I were going out as Inspector Gadget and Penny. I went to a thrift store to find an oversized tan trench coat for him and desperately searched for “Inspector Gadget Gloves.” I found a coat right away and went to 3 other thrift stores for gloves, but was unsuccessful.
Feeling really bummed, I went home to throw the old coat in the wash. When what should I find in the pockets? A pair of gloves virtually identical to the ones Gadget wears! Not exactly a diamond ring, but it felt like a gift from the Halloween Gods! © Dagger Willingham / Quora
I bought a used RV a few years back. The seat cushion covers in the back bedroom area were most definitely a fairly wild faded orange color from the ’70s. There was even shag carpet, orange of course, on the floor.
Anyway, a buddy of mine did reupholstery work, so I hit him up for a bid. He didn’t have time to take all of the covers off of the cushions, so I did it. On the second cover that I took off, I found 6 $100 bills! © Jim Turner / Quora
