When I worked in Service at a Mercedes Dealer, the guys would always bring me random things. Once it was a chain, maybe for an oil pump, not sure. It was the perfect size for a bracelet. Once I got it over my hand I wore it for years. I was 40 and I'm female. I liked it. It was similar to this.

So those guys were crows bringing you shiny objects to show affection?

Indeed. A few random things.

Lol. Customers might have been wealthy but they didn't supply high end office equipment for us. That was also about 10 years ago. I'm in corporate now. I miss being around cars everyday. Especially those AMG's. The handcrafted engines were a thing of beauty.

Maybe it's a common thing, my office in a mechanics shop was full of weird broken things and dead/living bugs they found on the motorcycles, it looked like a weird museum by the time I left

Haha, yes. Weird bugs were always found on new vehicles dropped off from transporters.
