Lookie who I found lurking in my garage. I was afraid I'd lost him! This is a pin:

It's amazing what you've got stashed in that garage, CW!
(BTW, you wouldn't happen to have D.B. Cooper hanging out in there, would you?)

Perhaps I will regret asking...who is D.B. Cooper?

D.B. Cooper was a guy who, in the early 1970's, hijacked a plane and held the passengers hostage for (I think) $10 thousand. After he got the money, he let the passengers go, and forced the pilot to go back into the air.
Somewhere between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, Cooper grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the plane. Nobody's seen him since.

I watched a show where they're pretty sure they identified who D.B. Cooper really was, and that he survived the jump. 
Not sure I'll wear the pin unless I go to some kind of convention (though I'd be afraid I'd lose it). I was definitely thrilled to find it again! I was almost sure by this point that I'd lost it, as I expected to find it with the other stuff!
Somewhere I have 1 more item. *trembles and looks at the garage*

Love the thrill of the find! I think the pin would look cool as part of a larger pin, some interestingly folded fabric behind it...
Hell ya! I'd wear it proud!

I'm not ashamed. Just afraid I'd really lose it this time.

I learn such interesting things hanging out here. Just read the Wikipedia summary - what a fascinating cold case!

Considering all the "unsolved mystery" shows and "what ever happened to --?" programs my mom made me watch as a kid, I'm surprised nobody else seems to have heard of him!

Now that you mention it, I HAVE heard this story, but I didn't remember the guy's name. So if he could be in Chris's garage, what's the reward?

Did you know there's a whole tourist industry of taking parachuters up to duplicate Cooper's jump? Crazy stuff.
I'll have to keep my eyes open for piles of cash in the garage.
