Chuckle. I lost a cell phone supply a while back. So I checked at
Rebecca's Coffee House. They did not have my cellphone supply
but they did have a nice supply of laptop power supplies in their
lost and found. It seems folks often go off and leave them. The
overall flow into lost and found is greater than out so you might
not feel to guilty just picking one up.

This reminds me of an experience I had while consulting in Edmunton,
Alberta, Canada back in the late 80's. They use block heaters on
the cars up there in the winter to make it through the 40 below
zero winter weather. All the parking places have places to plug
your block heater in and everyone carries an extension cord
that attaches to the socket under the hood.

I was pretty good about remembering to plug in but often forgot
to take the extension cord out. So I would just drive off and then
run over the cord going around a corner and lose the extension
cord. Buying them got expensive so I figured out a way to get
them free. I would go early Sunday morning to a couple of big
honk tonk style bars ... there would be plenty of cords laying
around. I would pick up five or six of them and be set for the
week.

I suppose I should have just had a stickit on my steering wheel or
something but the bar pick up worked pretty well (except for
having to get up early on Sunday :) so I quit worrying about losing them.
