Don't forget that your odds of finding and petting the roving neighbourhood cats increases as you walk more vs. driving.
And the potential for finding loot.
I've found neat things on the side of the road by walking around my home, ranging from brass knuckles to a case with 3 Nintendo Switch cartridges inside. I tried to find the owner of the games (probably a kid who dropped it when getting off the school bus) but was unable to.
I like the cut of your jib. The real gems I've found were literally that, rings and earrings of varying quality/value. I credit video games for the habit, it always pays dividends finding random partially-concealed valuables on the ground. This doesn't even count the number of (rarely) full/half-full packs of cigarettes, which sometimes contain other substances from nugs to hash and beyond.
My wife and I sometimes cruise the hood looking for goodies on the side of the road. I could go on forever with what all we've dragged home.
Got a nice radiant stove a few months back, all but new, very clean. One night we scored a brand new wine fridge, huge one, along with a nice solid-wood desk for my son and a brand new countertop oven, never used.
LOL, she often hits the flea market and drags home $200+ on a Saturday with all the crap we find. I'm thinking of going all in since I can't find an IT job.
