CRAZY thing that happened to me today...

[41down]

so...on my way driving to work this afternoon, while stopped at a stop sign, i saw this router box laying in the road. i thought it was just an empty box but after looking again i saw it was wrapped in plastic. i ran out of my car and grabbed it. whaddaya know, brand new netgear wireless router sealed in the plastic. after coming home from work and doing some research i see it retails for almost $100. seriously, what are the chances of something like this happening?

some poor sap probably bought it and placed it on top of their car while pulling their keys out and forgot it up there.

Good find!

Man I feel bad for whoever lost it.

 

[41down]

nope no receipt..its $96 on amazon.

i feel bad for whoever lost it too, but lets be honest... if i wouldnt have grabbed it, it would have either been ran over or taken by someone else. if i had a way of giving it back to it's rightful owner then i would definitely do the right thing...but i dont.

Poor bastard... bet those kids at Best Buy told him he'd get a better connection if he set it up on the roof of his car.

to determine that, you'd have to find out how many were manufactured, the total surface area of the earth, and how many times you drive by that particular stop sign

Good find OP, lol.

Is it the wndr3700? If it is, it's supposed to be a pretty router

It's not a 3700. I have one of those, and while it's similar, it's not that. And yes, the 3700 is pretty. Also a really awesome router.

 

[41down]

its the 3500

A mathematical model for this situation would require a much larger number of variables than the three you listed.

Try opening up the router and look for drugs or money inside. If so, it was some sort of money/drug drop and you stumbled across it. Expect for people to come after you now.
