A box of treasures
Some items that I didn't drop off at the Salvation Army recently were two large boxes of old Marvel and DC comics that I didn't want anymore. The reason that they didn't go over was because there wasn't room left in the car once I'd loaded in all the boxes of books and bags of clothes.
The two boxes of comics sat in the hallway for a few days, causing a hazard to anyone walking to the bathroom in the dark at night.
Yesterday morning I took one of them and put it out on the street. There's a school next to my apartment, and my hope was that it would be discovered by some kids, who would be excited to find such a box of treasures (the Longshot limited series! Keith Giffen Justive Leagues! Captain America comics featuring Diamondback!).
When I came home from work, the box was indeed gone. I have no idea who took it, but I am going to assume it was a kid, because that makes me feel good. It could have been anyone though. Unwanted things left on the street in Brooklyn will always be taken by somebody. They never sit there for long.
