I bought a set of second hand overalls from a stall at an auto-jumble. The were made of sturdier than usual material, almost the sort that are worn by welders. They are (I still have them) a deep blue. Down the front there were a few stains, so they had been used. They also had signs of wear. They had two breast pockets and below the waist had slits so that the wearer could get access to the pockets in whatever they wore underneath.
When I got home, I examined them more closely. In an inner pocket inside the chest, which I had not noticed I found a wallet. Not only that, but the wallet contained what seemed to be a substantial sum of money in three different currencies. Of course, by then in was far too late and the sale had long closed.
I contacted the organisers of the sale, but with the limited information I was able to give them, they were unable to help me trace the stall-holder.
