Most unusual purchase. 12:38 - Dec 22 with 3999 views

What is the most unusual, random, off the cuff, irrelevant thing you ever purchased. Was it of any use?

Mine:-
When I lived in Kingston I bought a WW2 Wellington bomber tail wheel in an antique shop. I thought, ' I must have that'. So without hesitation, I purchased it there and then. I looked a sight cycling home with said piece of aviation history strapped to my back! I didn't tell the wife for ages until upon moving home, she spotted it in the shed and inquired about it. I just said a mate at work gave it to me as he had no space for it any longer.
I still have it. It occasionally gets wheeled out of the hangar/garage to do a spot of door stopping!

There aint half been some clever bastards.

Doesn't really count mate. That would belong in the "Most Unusual Keepsake" thread.

However, if you'd bought your mates jar with his foreskin in it...

When in the vice like grip of my square mile cocaine addiction in the 90's , I would nick pub mirrors and dart board cabinets off the walls and take them home. I was never stopped once. I used to tell my then Mrs i picked them up at Antique fairs.

Unusual, Random and looking back..completely unhinged.

interesting You say that, Disco because during a very serious session back in the mid nineties I once nicked a cuckoo clock out of a pub and gave it to my mum as a mothers day gift
also during that time me and about 5 others had been on the silly gear and had the bright idea of breaking into Oxfams in Ruislip, all p1ssed & drugged up sliding down the roof like sas commandos to get in the back entrance , what a sight we looked at 4 in the morning traipsing down the street in woman's fur coats and sailor hats

like you say all very unhinged
