Today’s
thrift shops have become a counterpart io yesterday’s
Macy’s or Gimbel’s. Just as those two
giants did not habitually share information, neither
do average folks while dropping their household
dispensables into anonymous bins.
An 1889 word to the wise...
All well and good until one such donation happens to contain a sprinkling of human remains. This occurred at a Goodwill shop in Vancouver, Washington. When said urn with its unusual contents was discovered by a curious employee, the local police were alerted. Attempts at locating its past owner appear to be met with dead silence.
As if that weren’t enough, another thrift store wound up with a locket containing – you guessed it – more of same. These heart-shaped cremains indefinitely hung above the unwitting buyer’s sink, who referred to them as her “spooky little friend.”
