Coincidence? Pretty Funny...

It's not uncommon for the previous owners of a house to leave a few things behind when they move out, either by mistake or because it was unwanted or unneeded. Well, what was left prominently hanging in the garage of my house when I moved in was a little too perfect.

Thankfully I realized that there was no key to be found anywhere in the house before I indulged my curiosity. These handcuffs (S&W M-104) use a non-standard key, so I would have been SOL if I had tried them out. I ordered a pair of keys off eBay.

I just had to laugh... what are the odds? :wink:

Pretty lucky. If I were A BETTING GUY, it would be that whoever moved out had lost the key and figured, what the heck lets give you a little thrill.
If I knew his number, I would call him and say if he had left anything valuable behind just to let you know and you would look for it and return it to him...

The previous owner was, briefly, a bouncer at a local bar in his college days. I guess that might explain them.

That is fantastic!! And a rare model too (could be worth something).
