nice finds!!!
I've found bicycles that I've fixed and given to neighborhood kids who don't have one or had a crappy one. golf clubs that my dad and I would keep to form junior sets for neighborhood kids (we used to hit up Salvation Army and GW too...back when you could get clubs for 10c each). We'd make a set, give it to a kid who didn't have one and take them golfing.
Haven't ever found much else... friend owns a ton of storage units and when his client just leaves stuff he calls me to take whatever I want. Unless it's filled with good stuff, then I just liquidate it for him. I've snagged upright wingback chairs, sofas, bed frames, futons etc... basic house/apt furniture people left behind. Works great for the deercamp/farmhouse.
