So the drive home from work was surreal.... I was driving up Yamate-dori south of Nakano, following an ambulance when I noticed a small box sitting on the ambulance's rear step.
When the ambulance went round a corner the box flew off and landed on the road.
Call me curious or just the Good Samaritan that I am, I pulled over and retrieved it.
When I opened the box there was a human toe packed in ice inside it!
So I called the Himawari hospital dispatch and explained what I'd found and the license plate number of the ambulance from my dash cam. The lady on the other end of the phone said “Yes, the ambulance has just arrived minus the box”.
I told her where I was and asked if they were going to send another ambulance to collect it?
The lady replied “No, we’ll just send a toe truck.”
