What is this thing? (Photo enclosed.)
I do a lot of walking, and it seems like every week or two I'll see one of these wires lying on the sidewalk. Today I saw two of them several blocks apart. They're perhaps six to eight inches long.

What are these things? Where do they come from? They've always got that little minor corkscrew pattern, so there's got to be some reason why I keep seeing them.

It is from some kind of delivery that uses wire tag holders like this:



I am thinking maybe on newspaper bundles that would be dropped off around the city in the early morning hours.

[Pointing emphatically.] I was thinking it could be something like that! The wires are very small and thin, which makes me think that they're for some temporary purpose.

Looks like a wire from a power broom bristle.

I can't tell for sure on my phone, but I agree. It looks like an aerial clamp that twists around old steel drops. We wrecked out a ton of them on our last FTTH project. I need to look on a bigger screen to be sure.

I was being serious, btw, I ride road bikes and you see these in the gutter (or dig them out of your tires) a lot. Normal car ones are smaller but maybe these are from a big truck tire
