Findthisjacket!
After he passed, the nursing home gave his jacket to Goodwill in Denham. His son is trying to find it. Tigerdroppings?

Antiquetiger probably has it on eBay already.

Seriously, good luck. Great jacket.

Me, I’d sue the nursing home out of spite.

Good luck I hope you find it.

For the cost of recovering that jacket (if it's ever found) plus pain and suffering.

I hope you find it. Is it normal for a nursing home to dispose of belongs? I figured the family would take everything.

Rumor is they are supposed to wait 7 days before removing left behind items but this man passed away on Sunday.

Again, this is what has been stated on Livingston rants and raves FB page.

I did some community serve at a goodwill years ago. Long story. Anyway, these item are usually thrown in a large pile and sorted out. Takes weeks. The jacket should be at the one they donated it too.

Selling shite you get for free has got to be the best “business” model ever.

I'd assume an employee saw it and wanted it. Took it and said they gave it to goodwill.

I hope you find it before your phone dies.

Charge your damn phone.

Just kidding, we always like to rag on people here when they post screenshots of their phone and the battery dips below 20%.


Pro tip; crop it out.

Why is 20% the standard anyway? You could survive a long time on a mere 10%

It may have to do with the life cycle of the battery. Dropping to near zero and recharging back to 100% may shorten the expected battery life.

The Goodwill store I drop stuff at has a pile of clothes in the back. The pile has to be 10 feet high at times.



The nice stuff sells. The junk doesn't and gets shipped to Africa where even they dont want it and it ends up in land fills or on a beach.
