Left at the Curb

Here are a few photos of things I've seen left at the curb in the past few days. Not all were abandoned, though this large, floppy animal from the State Fair definitely was left behind:


It was an odd sight, lying forlornly at a corner about a mile from the Fair's nearest gate.

Then there were the two boxes of New Testaments left on a bench at a bus stop. I guess this particular Gideon gave up instead of braving a brief rain:


Note that these boxes are marked "COLLEGE" -- I wonder what effect that has on the content or format of the books?

Finally, a sign that a parent is getting a young child started right:


Not abandoned, of course. Not locked, either, but I don't imagine that matters much in this case.
