Someone almost threw this away at work
Check it out. I bought this (spare) rear window a couple months back.

Yeah - nice price. So, I had it shipped to work, since someone is
always there to receive it. I put it aside and tucked it behind one of
my lab benches. Well, they are constructing new offices now in our
giant basement lab. Someone moved it on me, and frankly I had forgotten it.
Well, I was down there tonight. A box caught my eye. Yes, I do pick
the trash sometimes. I picked up the box, which seemed heavy for
trash. I looke dat the address label and immediately KNEW.
Someone actually picked it up and placed it in the trash pile.
I'm taking it home tonight. Hopefully, the wife won't try to throw it away, too.

Using internet to order parts at work: Free
Getting a killer deal on a decent rear window: $26.99
Shipping the window to work: $25
Finding it in the work trash pile before it was carried to the dumpster ... priceless.

It would have eventually dawned on you, "Wonder where I put that rear window?" Glad you found it before it got gone.
