Curious, he picked up the box and found inside not only the missing pieces but also a handwritten note: ‘To whoever finds this: Happy hunting!’ Turns out, a regular had left it years ago, never realizing it was gone. Since then, finding Monopoly during a test drive has become a charming local legend.
