    Mystery Item

    Bit of an odd one. I need some help identifying an item.
    According to my wife it showed up in our house a day or two after returning from holiday. We definitely never bought it... we don't even know what it is!

    So either someone left it, it came home in our luggage (unlikely) or... well, I've no idea. No one we've spoken to so far had a clue what it is.

    It was folded up in a small plastic carry bag sort of like a sleeping bag. It's made of a thin plastic. There are no labels.

    It's lined with a transparent plastic sheet inside but has a sort of seam down the length. It's closed at one end and at the other it has a flexible, plastic rim of some sort sewn into it and forms two compartments, sort of...

    There's a plastic buckle which brings the rim together as an arch. That makes me think it's some sort of cover, maybe for plants or something.

    Oh, and it's about 8ft. Long and I think just under 3ft wide when flat.

    Anyone have any ideas? I'm at a loss.

    Initially I thought it was a tent cover but the last picture has me baffled!

    Is it a way to carry a Christmas tree home without the pines going everywhere?

    Interesting. I don't think so. There are no zips no this. It could go around something but there's no way to keep it closed. There are also two lines compartments, in a sense. It could just be internal waterproofing for each side...

    I think I know, because we have one. If it's unbranded it will be a knock of of a Lazy bag! Enjoy

    Did you buy a computer component from Wish dot com?
    I received a brush when I bought a graphics card from there.


    Glad you now know, I might have to get one for the Summer...
