... if you want the web with suction cups that came with it, please do drop me a line and I'll put it in the post for you.

Free! Postage Paid! Because why the fuck should you pay for the postage so I can reunite the accessory with the beloved figure my DC (4) was playing with mere minutes earlier?!?

What stupid sillies we were - dashing out to a film. You found it on a table at Spur (steak place) at Lakeside last night and decided you needed it more than my heart-broken child.

Mind, just for the record, we're not best pleased with the Spur staff who cleared the table - how they failed to spot a 5" screaming red-and-blue action figure whilst apparently cleaning a table (to a level food hygiene chappies would like to see) I'm not sure, but that's another thing.

But the people whom I'm really addressing here are the colossally selfish gits who (at best, merely colossally stupidly) thought that maybe a Spiderman comes free with a meal in a restaurant completely unaffiliated with Marvel.

Bottom line, it's called Theft by Finding. Hope This Helps.

OP - I am just envious you have been to Spur - I miss home and a Spur on every corner :(

Sorry to post in. An old thread but I had to say this.
I recently went to a park with my DD and found a soft white bear. He was in bad shape dirty and covered in leaves he had apparently been there two days. I couldn't bare (bear) to leave him. So I asked the other families if it was there soft toy they all said no.
And I took it. Now calm down. Yes I took the bear, I washed him, combed his fur. Generally cleaned him up. And posted his details on Facebook.

No one claimed him. I reposted for four weeks.
He is now a member of the family. I do keep trying to find his TRUE family but I believe they have forgotten him.

Toy story 3. It killed me.
