Or at least that's what I infer from this email, forwarded to me today from a Midwestern law firm by one who wishes to remain anonymous:

Subject: Found – Skull & Crossbones Eye Patch
 
I found a skull & crossbones eye patch on this floor.  It's at my desk if anyone wants to claim it.

Halloween is almost a month away, and Litigate Like a Pirate Day has already passed, but I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for this.
