Stoop And Stare: 30 Times People Threw Out Real Treasures In NYC (New Pics)

Many of you Pandas know the phrase that one person’s trash is another’s treasure. But for some, this might seem like just a metaphor. Well, there’s one internet project that proves how true the saying is in real life.

‘Stooping NYC,’ the brainchild of an anonymous couple from Brooklyn, is a massively popular Instagram page that is dedicated to an old tradition in the Big Apple—leaving unwanted things, quirky items, and furniture on the curb for others to bring back home. We’ve collected the freshest and most awesome photos of stooped stuff, as featured on the account, to share with you Pandas. Check them out below and don’t forget to upvote the items you loved the most.
