“Dear PoPville,
We live in a row house in upper Columbia Heights, a house that has two front entrances — the main entrance is up onto our porch, and there is a lower basement entrance that is down 4 steps. The porch is 8 or so feet deep and creates a small walkway below the porch up to the basement entrance. I recently found a pile of coins — $2.28 to be exact — sitting on that walkway. Were we the mistaken beneficiaries of DC’s tooth fairy? Has anyone else had a similar discovery? Who’s got a compelling story to explain this?
It doesn’t look like they could have been dropped from very high, given the lack of scattering. Most explanations seem to fail on the “but why leave the money behind?” question.
Despite the creepiness, we’re optimists and continue to see the piggy bank as half full.”
Ed. Note: Didn’t we once post something similar to this a few years ago? Anyone else remember that? Textdoc?
