Some of my parent's friends were offering items from their attic to their children. Mrs. P had said that anything that the children didn't want would be thrown away. After selections were made, Mr. P took the remaining boxes to the dump. A day or two later, Mrs. P went to the attic to get her Christmas ornaments. She didn't realize that her ornament boxes had been removed with the other attic contents that the children were evaluating. Her lifetime collection of Christmas ornaments had been delivered to the dump with the unwanted items the children hadn't claimed.
A quick trip to the dump revealed that the procedure was to bulldoze the grounds each day. It appeared that a logistical error had cost this family all their prized ornaments. Further inquiry revealed that the bulldozer was broken. Thus, recent deliveries hadn't been covered. Unbelievably all the boxes were recovered and not a single ornament was broken.
At face value, a broken bulldozer wouldn't appear to be anything more than a maintenance issue to be resolved. As with so many things, one person's challenge creates opportunity for another.
