Are you are parent who can not afford a baseball glove for your child? How about a softball or hardball? Sweatshirt? Football? Soccer ball? Brand new tennis balls? May I suggest a stroll in your neighborhood park after a glorious weekend of sunshine? Perhaps a visit to a fancier park outside of your neighborhood would be better. A park with a baseball field that looks as though the Dodgers are about to play. One can find all kinds of items left behind, and trust me, nobody takes them to a “Lost & Found”, parents do not return looking for that expensive mitt, water bottle, sweatshirt, t-shirt, bat, cap or ball.
One should come prepared though. Walk someones dog but have a backpack with treats and poop bags to back up your story, or borrow someones child with a stroller so you can carry things out without looking conspicuous. A homeless person will do it if you don’t and nobody will stop a homeless person now will they?
Just a suggestion for those scraping by.

Walter Kitty's Diary 
My kids are always in need of a new glove, and I don’t feel guilty about keeping a glove I find at the park because my kids have lost so many items at that park. This found glove might even be the one they lost six months ago, somebody found, and now lost again.
Now thats an interesting take, and one that I can get behind. I don’t want to encourage stealing but I see it sort of like dumpster diving. I don’t dumpster dive myself but you get the idea, yes? Baseball mitts are expensive and take a certain amount of care to break in. A perfectly good mitt forgotten on the bleachers is like a nice t-bone thrown in the trash. Or something like that…
I’m looking for a nice little ATV. I wonder if I could find that at a park. . .
Well I suppose it depends on what sort of park you are near. Perhaps a golf cart? They seem to use those on our baseball field nowadays. Ugh. If I come across an ATV I will be sure to hot wire it for you.
