I put a set of strings in the case since the work being done to the guitar required removal of the old strings..( hoping to get a free yune up)
the key to the case was just always in there.
Leaving the guitar strp on it was a foolish error.
The whole thing was sent to the factory by my local dealer.
So It was hanfled many times , by various people
Why someone from the E B factory would have any need for these items is of course the prime question, answered by, " They don't have any use for this crap as they probably have all that junk they would ever need.
T seems more likely that somewhere on the adventure these things were put aside and forgotten..
I dom't care because in my case was a copy of the koran and some very heavy metal bars (I assume from UPS trying just trying to increase the shipping fees)
As far as the comment that "zabba is trying to get something for nothing"
I'll meet you behind the swing set after school, obviously your daddy did not beat any common sense or manners into you as a child.
