    Finding Inflatable Toys & Bringing Them Home

    My wife and I stayed on a massive resort in Mexico for one week. It was a very nice resort with multiple swimming pools and a lot of private beaches.

    We managed to get some 'free' inflatables in our room.

    Story continues here...

    Have you ever done such a thing before? Did you find inflatables at a certain location, and did you bring it home? If so, what was the story?

    I personally love to find cheap or free inflatables. I do buy bigger inflatables, as they are harder to find for 'free'. But it always feels better to find inflatables that are being abandoned, because I get a kick out of it.

    Yes done this loads of times. Love to get used ones for free usually rings or lilo’s and last time I brought home an Intex lilo with the 18 cups in it and the pillow part looks a bit stretched I love it. It had gone down a bit but another day someone had blown it up again.

    Sometimes walk along the beach late in the day to see if any have been left but at night they are taken away by the rubbish collectors. Did get a crocodile inflatable a few years back used it again on another holiday.

      Yes, i look for balls and find some. It is always a pleasure to have fun with them after taking home.

        Yes, when I find some inflatable, I bring it home, clean it and blow it bigger and bigger

          I live near a beach. On summer I often go there to relax.
          Three years ago, before Covid, I saw three well muscled black guys inflating a bigger beach ball and a mattress.

          I stayed there to watch, they played with the ball, pressed it between them and that stuff ;-)

          At the evening they took the mattress with them but left the ball behind. I collected it, let the air out and inflated it again at home in my bed thinking of the awesome looking African American guy who inflated it with me watching....

            Every now and then in the summer after a thunderstorm wind high winds I sometimes find random beach balls and swim rings around town. I love taking them home, cleaning them up and having my way with them! It's even more of a turn on because it was somewhat ill-gotten and the person that originally bought it has no idea what it will be used for from now on!

              Haha yes! What would they know, haha.

              It’s so cool that you guys live close to the beach. We aftually also love close to the beach, but it’s an ocean beach, so more surfers, less toys. And if they are there anyway, they always tend to get taken by others.

              Nonetheless, our Mexico trip made up for the entire year

                I don’t live too far from the beach but never find anything there but like you holidays abroad seems to be the place. I love finding used inflatables lying around.

                  I found a 47-ish inch swim ring in a local pond (not meant for swimming) a couple months ago. It was sun-faded and stretched to the point of the outer seam not being puckered. I came back at night with a pole to retrieve it. Nothing special. Orange on one side, white with a faded print on the top, with handles. I don't particularly like handles.

                    There’s an empty lot by an alley way next's to my house and there was a 20 inch beach ball alone, I waited until late at night to come and pick it up, I ended up cleaning it and I enjoyed it for a while before I did a S2P with it

                      I was super thrilled that I was able to bring it back home without being seen

                        That is a hot thought. Wish I could have that same experience.

                          Found one of those vinyl advertising "balloons" that got loose. They are about 16 inches but thin, they can't take much.
