My co-worker turned me onto the TTC/police Ebay pages where you can find a bevvy of unclaimed lost and found items, like sunglasses, jewelery and Hindu god icons (?). I love how the person challenged with setting up these auctions uses a disembodied mannequin hand to show relative sizes: Waxy Hand from the depths It’s also nice to see people refusing crap merchandise when they see it: Uh, thanks.
