An Antique the Road Show Won't Want
Okay, you're a contractor working on an old house. You see a box in the corner, open it and...
Actually, painters with D.L. Painters of Clinton, working for Jespersen’s contracting business, Affordable Maine Homes of Augusta, found it: a human hand, believed to be 50 to 80 years old.The BDN has a picture of the hand at the link, for those who are curious.Derek Levasseur, 32, of Clinton was painting the Depot Road house, which was built in 1910, and on a break he was in the garage, examining a small wood-burning stove that Jespersen had agreed he could have. On top of the stove was a box, which Levasseur opened.
Inside was the hand, reminding him of rawhide, "almost like one of those pig ears you see on the counter in convenience stores that you’d buy for your dog," he said Thursday.

Awwww, the police took the hand away! That's not right to take away an old family hand-me-down!
