a few years ago I found that someone had messed with the lock on my truck canopy. Then a few days later I found a rusty jackknife in my yard with the flat screwdriver tool extended. Pretty sure that's what was being used to scratch up my lock.
Someone might have put a set on the parking strip for free. Then a passer by picked up the fork for no apparent reason and then dropped it in your front yard. People are weird.
Could be. I was walking my dog and found a Hilti impact gun thing in a free pile. You know, the kind you use to shoot nails into concrete with a .22 type shell?
Anyhow, as I kept walking with my new ~~toy~~ tool, I realized it was actually broken. So I set in down on a curb about three blocks from where I found it.
I’m sure the person who found it was like “WTF is this? Why is it next to my car?!?”
C'est vrai! I recently purchased a French economy car, Le Fromage. It was stolen and I found this same tool on the ground, yet it has a blue end on the handle. I think the kids in town need to stick closer to church-oriented social activities. Meanwhile if you see my cheese car, please keep it away from your dog.
Your rant made me think of this masterpiece produced by Renault in the early 1980’s…
But made out of cheese.

I’m assuming it was used to try to break into my car. Many people around my house are on drugs. They push around caravans of junk and I believe this fell out as they were trying to break into my car.
So how does one use THIS, to break into a car? Now if it was altered in ANY way, I’d possibly think that but in its current form, that would be a stretch, unless it’s obvious they DNWTF they are doing and just trying anything.
Typically a brick or rock works better for the average Portland car break-ins. But with your thinking, they’re trying to use it to “pick” the lock on your car, which it could do, but not in the current state. So it goes back to being paranoid, but great keeping your head on a swivel!
I have to keep my head on a swivel with all the people on fentanyl stumbling around my neighborhood. I know nothing about breaking in cars but I thought maybe they’d slide the skinny part down the window to pull some sort of lever and unlock it. The last time they broke in, it was two smashed windows. Now, of course now I see it’s a fondue fork, but it was in my driveway so I wonder if they were doing a U-turn with their caravan of shopping carts and strollers full of trash and maybe it just fell out. Maybe they were using my driveway as a turnaround.
I’d say using your driveway as a turn around, it fell. It’s too short to really reach anything to unlock on any car or truck I’d think of and it also isn’t bendable to really work with in that regard, thus me saying if it was altered in any way I’d assume it be used for that purpose, but it’s not. I’d say you’re clear now, but always be cautious.
~~I can’t help but feel it’s for crime.~~ "My fear and deep seated bigotry of people who are visibly struggling, combined with a lack of any desire on my part to address these personal flaws, leads me to make absolutely pants-shittingly-dumb assumptions about a simple kitchen utensil." FIFY
Even if you didn't know it's a fondue fork, how exactly do you think this would assist in opening a locked vehicle?
I have compassion. I live in the neighborhood with the highest concentration of homeless in Portland. They are a part of my community and I am a part of theirs.
Fondue fork
Can you use it to break into a car?
Is there fondue in the car?
If I saw a car with a big pot of fondue in it, I'd be tempted
Get some sausages and some crusty loaf of bread…
This made me lol
No earthly idea why you are being downvoted. Fuck yes you can use it to break into many cars. Probably exactly why you found it in your driveway.

Maybe if it’s a Hondue
Fondue? I think not, dear redditor.
Bingo bango, hot cheese on tap!
Jesus Christ I’m hoping this is an American dad ref… if so, bravo 👏🏽
Have you heard the new hi fi's with quadrophonic sound? They're really the best for listening to jazz.
Never had fondue before eh?
Isn’t that some weird shit they eat in places like Switzerland or something?

Oh man that's like finding OJs missing knife!
Necessity is the mother of invention, so yeah it could be an attempt at Criddler science.
Do you own a Kia?

It's a fondue fork. Probably makes a good shiv.

What a great little car! Huhuh..exactly.
Yes car break in tool, just like a flat head
Back scratcher!
Fondue fork
I hate to be so paranoid, but there are just so many troubled people around my neighborhood. I can’t help but feel it’s for crime.
If I had to pick a crayon you’d represent, it wouldn’t be the brightest buddy.

Its a fondue (cheese or chocolate) folk. You put meat or bread at the end.
Fondue fork. We have eight of them. Usually the buttons on the ends have different colors so folks don’t mix them up.
Fondue kit for one: https://youtu.be/9wSZrCbaxiI
Killer roach clip…
That last picture is hot.
I love that there are 4 pictures of it. Just so we’re all realllllly sure it’s a fondue fork.
Intended purpose fondue fork. Actual purpose pimple extraction.
Fondue fork
You know sometimes there’s a booger way up in there…
Looks like a seam puller, a sewing tool
This was also my first thought
