I went to a garage sale 2 weekends ago and was looking around. The lady hosting it was on the phone and got very excited, turns out her sister went into labor she ran off after telling me I could take anything for free. Got 2 bomber jackets, 8 PS 4 games, a portable power pack for phone, bumper to a "71" Judge, a very nice double drum rock tumbler and a few other odds and ends.


SCORE!!!!!

Nice, that doesn't happen every day. Would've slipped a $20 in the mailbox though, myself.

I thought about that later. I didn't want to be weird and go there later.

Friend of mine went to one last year and he’s a paramedic by trade. The lady had a heart attack and he called 911 and kept her alive until the ambulance got there. Then he had to tell people to put stuff back as they were trying to take things. He said him and a police officer put all of her belongings back in the house, locked the door and left. Crazy!

You definitely got the better side of that outcome!

You should have stayed and sold her items and split the $$ with her. (of course got her permission first)
