Last night I was taking out the trash when I saw a seemingly new dresser set next to the trash area of my apartments. I looked around, saw no one standing nearby, nothing else to indicate that perhaps someone was moving into the apartments and was planning to haul their things upstairs. I took the trash out, came back, and the dresser was still there. I called my roommate to come downstairs and see if she could help me carry it back to the apartment.
We stood downstairs with it, sliding the drawers in and out and generally checking it for defects and waiting to see if someone would come and claim it. After about 10 minutes we decided it had indeed been thrown out by someone and carried it up 3 flights of stairs to the new resting place in my room. I had been contemplating buying another dresser for weeks now (part of the glory of living in NYC means almost no closet space...my bedroom doesn't have a closet at all!) but lo, the gods of frugality have smiled upon me and given me what I needed at no cost. I am always on the lookout for a way to save a few bucks!
