Here’s a short one about a couple of guys who couldn’t seem to keep track of their stuff. Instead, they…well, read it and see what they found in their hotel rooms.
***
In 1953, television reporter Irv Kupcinet was in London to cover the coronation of Elizabeth II. In one of the drawers in his room at the Savoy he found some items that, by their identification, belonged to a man named Harry Hannin. Coincidentally, Harry Hannin – a basketball star with the famed Harlem Globetrotters – was a good friend of Kupcinet’s.
But the story has yet another twist. Just two days later, and before he could tell Hannin of his lucky discovery, Kupcinet received a letter from Hannin. In the letter, Hannin told Kucinet that while staying at the Hotel Meurice in Paris, he found in a drawer a tie – with Kupcinet’s name on it.

Again, the odds on this one seem outrageous.But that seems to be business as usual for some types of synchronicities.
I like this one, too! It's got that tinge of weirdness in it, just enough so you can imagine something similar happening – like identical blouses or something.

not sure how i missed this neat story till now!
This is such a quirky synchronicity you have to wonder how the two men felt about it!
