A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.

"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

Like they say: Inspiration is like bathing, it's effective but only for a short amount of time; which is why we recommend it daily.

Inspirational Dead-drops-
I once had a collection of four leaf clovers, and began leaving them in different spots for people to find. I left one in a dictionary at my school with a note that says "They say luck comes to those who appreciate what they already have; This talisman is not a sign of good luck to come. Rather, a talisman that will help you overcome the bad luck you may encounter"I took the bus the other day and reflected on something i read written on the back of the seat someone was sitting on- "We start out our lives by thinking we are everything, to knowing we are nothing, to trying to be something... Don't give up<3"

"We waste a lot of time chasing after people we could have caught by just standing still"
