So the other day my Dad and I were coming back from the city dump. We had just gotten rid of some old wooden fences. We were about two miles from home, and stopped at a red light when Dad noticed something. A hammer lying in the middle of the road. It kind of looked like this:
It turns out it is a very worn, very used Estwing 22 oz. framing hammer. They sell them at Sears.

It must have been in the back of a work truck. When the truck went around the corner it must have fallen out and into the street.
I would like to give it back to the person who lost it, but I'm afraid if I posted it in the lost/found section of Craigslist a bunch of nuts/liars would come out of the woodwork claiming it to be theirs.
It's not a cheap hammer by any means. As you can tell from the pictures it is well used. So I decided to put it with some other tools so it will be happy and not alone like it was in the street.
What's funny is that just a year or so ago my Grandmother gave me my Grandfather's hammer that looks a lot like this one. I mean it, they are like twin hammers. So now I have two hammers.
It just occurred to me that I am "that guy" who got something that "fell off of a truck." Funny how the world works.
