    I love hearing about these anonymous acts of kindness! Probably inspired by other do-gooders? You hear about this at least once every year.

    It’s not an accident. This is obviously a publicity stunt by the SA to make them appear innocent and/or honest which they most obviously are not.

    No, it is garage sale in America. It is only a yard sale if everything is place outside instead of in the garage.
