I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, but I see still life compositions almost everywhere I look. A vase of flowers on the windowsill? Grab the camera. A pile of old tires in the garage? Wow, great shot.
The subject itself doesn't much matter when it comes to making interesting shots out of found objects, it's finding a clever and simple way to present them to your viewer. What attracted your eye to the subject? Was it the combination of shapes? The patterns of light and shadow? Or did the objects seem to define a universal theme? Shoot the image without even getting out of ypour seat and don't arrange anything, though there's nothing wrong with making adjustments in the subject if it suits your vision. If something strikes you as an interesting gathering of found objects, go ahead and shoot it--you just never know what you might find.
