I once retrieved a teak side table marked "Denmark" from a free pile. Still have it -- it's beautiful.

Also, while out walking in city neighborhood with family members, spied a jelly cabinet in a free pile of salvage. Incredible paint on it. Hmm. How to get it home from our walk? One of the kids had a skateboard with him, so we put the cabinet on the skateboard, steadied it with our hands on the sides, and rolled it six blocks home. Fun!
