Dumpster treasures - share your finds

I'm not that really in to dumpster diving after a little experience i had about 13 years ago. I was 16/17 and getting my 1st stereo installed in my truck at Circuit City. You have to drive behind this little strip mall to get to the installation bay. When driving behind one of the stores in the strip mall i saw a car next to a dumpster with its doors open and no one in sight. Don't know why but i stopped and got out and went to the dumpster... I found the body of a man at the bottom of the dumpster. He was an older man that was just looking for empty boxes...Called cops, detectives and ME determined he had a heart attack probably no more than 30-45mins before i found him.

So look before you leap in there!!!
 
Found a set of Zildian high hats and a stand in the trash once. The pedal was screwy so they threw it out cymbals and all. I sold it to a friend who played drums and last I knew he was still using them.
