    I found a NZ$20 note in a empty wallet in a dumpster a while ago. That really suprised me, I would think anyone chucking out a wallet would have checked it first.
    I'd almost come to the conclusion there would never be any money in a thrown or wallet or purse.

    A few weeks later, in the same bin, I find 20 litres of mag wheel cleaner.
    WOW! Thats a great find!
    I check the small print on the side of the container & find its a 5% solution of Hydrofluoric acid.

    Oh ****,



    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluoric_acidFr Aqueous hydrofluoric acid is a contact-poison with the potential for deep, initially painless burns and ensuing tissue death. By interfering with body calcium metabolism, the concentrated acid may also cause systemic toxicity and eventual cardiac arrest and fatality, after contact with as little as 160 cm2 (25 square inches) of skin.
