What's the weirdest place you've found a pony?

Other than fleamarkets I have not found ponies in the wild. Lovely to read all the stories though

I found some nice g1s at a tool sale in someone's workshed. It was nothing but tools except for a little box of ponies tucked away.

A long time ago down in the town in a news agents, the shop owner gave me a My Little Pony G1 a baby pony that had three daisies on it (can anyone guess what it is?)

I just remembered another story!  When I was studying my BA Dip Ed, I had a six week prac teaching a grade 1 class.  One day after the kids had gone home I was helping to tidy up the toy corner and came across six very grubby and well-loved G1 ponies.  I took a photo at the time because I was so excited to find them, not that I can find the picture now though of course!  From memory there was a Yum Yum, Moondancer, Sunspot, Gusty, and I think a Masquerade.  There were terribly scruffy, dare I say baity.  Part of me wanted to rescue them all and restore them to good condition, but at the same time I could see that they were still being loved by kids and played with decades after their original heyday, which was beautiful.

I bought loads of G1’s from a vintage clothes shop for a steal. Some rare ones too. I went back the next day and the woman on the till said the rest weren’t for sale...I think they realised what they had but by then it was too late I’d already bagged the rare ones

I rescued G1 Beachball from a daycare in 2005ish, but the weirdest place for me was Sakuracon, an anime convention. I saw someone holding a g1 Sparkle pony and asked about it. Apparently there was a vendor selling g4 pony stuff and, if you asked, she had some g1s in a bag behind the table. I spent  $60 on ponies that day, my first ponies in awhile.

In like 2004 my mom and I went thrifting looking for g1s. Nothing all day, she found it fun too so we hunted tirelessly. Went home disappointed with her saying sorry we didn't find anything as she's unlocking our front door, I look over and say 'what's that?'

Princess Royal Blue left behind by someone in the mud, just a bit of her hair sticking out. Washed her up and kept her, her hair is super frizzy though. I'm glad she brings it up sometimes because I'd think it was a dream if not for a witness. LOL

Finding Surprise and Baby Surprise in a furry convention is my weirdest find to this day.

Finding Surprise and Baby Surprise in a furry convention is my weirdest find to this day.

I've delivered ponies to people at furry conventions. It was pre-planned though.

I always see g4 stuff at furry cons but rarely if ever have I seen any mlp toys or official merchandise.

It was just by luck I saw them while on break from my own table at the dealers dean.

Not a pony but a G2 pony ball, does it count?

Well, I'm living in a flat bloc with a driving school at the corner, as there's a park behind, the floor is grass with a little path. So I was heading to the post office (approx 8 month ago?) walking in the grass, I stepped front of the driving school and saw a ball laying in the floor. I don't know why, but I knew it was pony and without a doubt, I picked it up. There were no one except me around. Then I get back home wonderin' HOW IN THE HELL would such a G2 ball be there? Because yah know, it's G2 not G4!!
With time, I realised that the driving school have a dog, and I may have steal the dog's toy
Well not going to get it back

When I worked in a social services organization, we had toys donated quite often. 
So I came into work one day and found MOC Sweet Pocket and MOC Frilly Flower sitting on my chair!!!!
 

That's sweet.
