Man Buys Jacket From Thrift Store Before Realizing Who'd Owned It
When the newspapers finally caught up to the man from Toronto and asked about the jacket he'd picked up from a thrift store, he had one request: to keep his name anonymous. Because after the truth of his special find was made public, he knew people would be knocking down his door looking for answers — like how much money he made.
Bang for your buck
Thrift stores are about getting the most bang for your buck, and that's exactly why the still-anonymous Toronto man found himself inside one during a walk into the city one afternoon. He just had to check out the merchandise.
Rummaging through blazers
This particular second-hand store mostly carried clothing, although there were little knick-knacks on some shelves. He immediately began rummaging through a pile of old blazers until he stopped on one that caught his eye.
Jumping out at him
It was vibrant green, and it instantly jumped out at him among the other dull and worn-out jackets on top. But, as an avid golfer, the jacket also reminded the man of something else.
Augusta national jacket?
It looked suspiciously like an Augusta National jacket that world-champion golfers received after they win the Masters Tournament. An avid golf fan, the Toronto man hurriedly followed his hunch — but was met with disappointment.
