Is there any physical object that has been in close proximity to all of these things?
Any person?

reply to Aspidistra:
Is there any physical object that has been in close proximity to all of these things? Define physical object.
Any person? No
Are there specific words that are associated with all of these things? No. I mean you can describe the common factor in words, but this is not wordplay or similar adjectives or the like.
**They are real objects. Not imagined. The original list is composed of actual things and not representations. So when I answered that I was correct.
The addenda contain some representations (i.e. the mermaid, the Dutch Boy, the kangaroo/mouse hybrid). I regret the confusion**.
Ok, thanks for clearing that up.
Are the objects related in any way other than being in the same location?
Are these items that are for sale from a single source?
**No, but it is about *how * they are in the location. Many items are in a city, of course. But only a few items are in the city *in this way. ***
No.
Is the city a well known city? For example would you expect the average English person or French person to have heard of it. (NY, LA, Las Vegas)
Actually, is the city Las Vegas?

Were all the items lost and washed up by a/some river(s)? By the sea? By some other water source?
**This is not the right answer, but it is so close to the right answer I am going to award it anyway.
Story here or here or in a bunch of other places if you google “dead giraffe in the Hudson.”
*** All of these items can be found, or have been found, in the waters of New York City. ***
Most of the original list comes from articles in New York Magazine and the New York Times. These stories sparked a lot of interest and feedback. The site Underwater New York encourages people to report their own findings and submit creative writing about the objects.
Addenda:
The SS John Milton, the SS Oregon and the Princess Anne are down there underwater. A freight train went off a drawbridge and remains in the Hudson. There are so many cars in the waters of New York that divers supposedly use them as guides. "It’s a few hundred yards past the DeSoto, turn right at the Lincoln Continental, but if you pass the VW bus you have gone too far… "
You can find out about the others by reading the links. Fascinating!**
A man went to another man’s home and stabbed him to death right in front of his home. The two had never met and the murderer had no criminal history. Why did he do it?
The two subjects you call “man” and “another man” are both human?
Does “stabbing to death” means literally cutting with a sharp object until literal death?
Is “his home” an actual residence?
Did the victim have a criminal history?
Was the reason for the stabbing, something the victim had done?
(BTW, cool site **Bio ** :))
Too obvious, but let’s get it out of the way- was it a robbery?
Was the victim mistaken for someone else?
Was the victim someone the perpetrator hadn’t met, but specifically knew of?
Was the identity of the victim random- like a “wrong place, wrong time” sort of thing?
Was the stabbing planned?
