11 names and a drawn robber sounds less like a game night and more like people bored out of their minds with no wifi. Leaving the board mid game is a bold move though, half those renters probably just dumped the pieces back in the box wrong and ruined your setup.

Man, that lady deserves a free coffee or something for saving your wallet from a lifetime of overpaying. My version of this is way less lucky: some guy at a yard sale told me to check the bottom of a box of old VHS tapes because there might be a hidden gem under them. Turns out the gem was a half-eaten granola bar and a dead spider, so I basically paid $2 for a sticky mess and a heart attack. Still, your Stanley find is proof that those random old-timers are secretly running the whole resale network. Now I crouch down at every table like I'm doing squats for cash, just hoping someone else will drop a hint my way. Most times I just find dust, but the one time it works out, it'll be worth the dusty knees.
