Its not particularly weird for most people, but the strangest place I've found ponies was my own toybox from childhood! Apparently I had some McDonald's ponies I didn't remember at all. I remembered a few when I saw them again but I had no idea they were MLP.
Inspired by the other thread going on, and those of years past, where is the strangest place you've found a pony in the wild?Sounds like something I would have in my classroom. The students know I love unicorns and such and give me unicorn figures all the time. I've never brought a pony there because I wouldn't want t damaged. I wouldn't be against having one there though. :lol:
Mine would have to be when I was in middle school. It would have been around the start of FIM, and my math teacher had a G1 parasol plush on his filing cabinet. Mind you, it had a haircut, a spiked dog collar, and numerous stains, but it was legit. Turns out some students threw it on top of the portables and he rescued it.
Anyone else?
Here is the poor baby. But she's happy now :)

Well does my forehead count?Because a little girl threw her mcdonalds pinkie pie at me once.And it's not the worse... she threw her dolls at me, and even a stapler.Yes you've read right, she threw a stapler at me.Pinkie was nothing because a monster high lagoona went right near my eye.Result : a one of the glass from my eyeglasses was broken.And the best is that i still managed to save this pinkie.
not a pony, but I "found" a fellow collector in the wild on a shopping trip one time! We recognized each other from photos we'd posted here!

I found G1 Beach Ball all alone in a box of old and used dishes. The owner had no idea where the pony came from, lol.
edit : gosh just thought of another one, I totally have to tell...
Years ago, I bought Italy Bowtie and Baby Blossom on eBay. My eBay account had my old adress because I had only moved a few weeks ago. It was the adress of my parents house, so packages for me sometimes arrived at theirs. Well, one day then, my mother called telling me my dad had found two G1 ponies in the gutter right on the main street. I freaked out in excitement lol. We visited them a few days later. I was happily thinking about picking up my package with Bowtie and Baby Blossom which should have arrived by then aaaand I was soo excited to find out what ponies my father had found. To my surprise, no package had arrived in the meantime and guess what?! When my father pulled the ponies he found out of his pocket... it was Italy Bowtie and Baby Blossom o.0 He told me they had been lying in the gutter with a cardboard box next to them but he didnt pay attention to the box. Wow... they must have had a very lazy postman... I cannot think of another way how my package has ended up on the mainstreet in the gutter.

That's cool about Beach Ball! But oh wow, that is just awful about your package! At least you still got your Ponies, but I hope they weren't damaged from lying in the gutter! Did you complain to the post office?
Nope, i wasn't babysitting her.If i was it would have been positive because i would at least have got some money...I was at a birthday party from someone in my family, and went in her room to recharge my phone...Bad idea.I knew her before, and we kinda hate each other.Well does my forehead count?Because a little girl threw her mcdonalds pinkie pie at me once.And it's not the worse... she threw her dolls at me, and even a stapler.Yes you've read right, she threw a stapler at me.Pinkie was nothing because a monster high lagoona went right near my eye.Result : a one of the glass from my eyeglasses was broken.And the best is that i still managed to save this pinkie.
Whoa, where you babysitting this kid? Did you know her at all? That's pretty intense.
It's not so strange but I found a Dancing Butterflies at a salvage store that sells a lot of used building equipment. They have a toy section, too, but this particular pony was in very nice shape.
Weirdest place I ever found a pony, maybe not technically weird but still, around the early 2000s I found the year 10 Birthday Pony at a doctor's office in the waiting room among the other toys for the kids. The weird part is that apart from puncture marks on her ears where a little girl presumably gave her earings, she's in really good condition! She still has all her streamers, her hair is uncut and she has no fading or symbol rub!
And this from a doctor's waiting room! You'd think she'd have been damaged long ago!
The doctor was nice enough to let me buy her :D so she's on my shelf now.
