Lost tool found at Oshkosh
I just got back from Oshkosh, or I would have posted this sooner. On Saturday, while making my scooter rounds through the RV parking area, I came across a lost item laying on the ground. It is a common sheet metal hand tool from one of the well known tool vendors, still in the plastic packaging.
It is not a mega-$ item, but not a cheapie either. I would like to return it to it's rightful owner. If anyone believes that they are the rightful owner, please contact me by email or private message. The rightful owner will obviously be able to describe exactly what the tool is and where it was lost (if you know.) If this is you, contact me and I'll make arrangements to get it to you by mail.

Very honorable of you Jeff to try & find the owner.
If no one claims it, it is mine.

Possible but I doubt it. They sell a lot of tools at the show. If I don't hear anything in a day or so I might contact them. Good idea in any event.

Does it have four cylinders, about three feet square, about 300 pounds? If so, it is mine.
Seriously, I chimed in to say thanks to you Jeff for all the scooter work. I tried to catch your eye a couple times, but you were on missions.

Hope it finds it rightful owner, but if not don't feel bad about keeping it. And Geico266 is kidding because its mine!

Jeff,
I think you might have found the tool that I lost. I hate to have to ask you this, but just to prove that you are actually the person who found it please send me a pm with a detailed description of the tool. Once convinced that you indeed found my tool we can arrange to have it shipped. Couldn't resist. On the serious side, this is a good deed you are doing and I hope you find the rightful owner.
