Bunny

October 31, 2007

FOUND by Shawn Nee in Weymouth, Massachusetts

Found in an abandoned farm house near my sister’s house. The house was actually on a lake so the basement was completely filled chest-deep with water. The interesting thing about this find is that it was as though the woman just simply vanished one day and no one seemed to care. Her pay stubs with her social security number were lying all around, paid by the convenient store across the street that she worked at for $5.35 an hour; food was still in the refrigerator, rotting away; the cupboards, as you can see in the photo, were completely filled. I could go on and on about this house – it is simply one of the most fascinating places I have ever found.

Erin and Tiffany

October 30, 2007

FOUND by Laura Warman in Washington

I was walking to my math class when I noticed a bunch of little pieces of paper strewn across the hallway. I stole my math teacher’s tape, lost my participation points in class and slowly taped it all together, discovering the secret lives of Erin and Tiffany.

Baby Step

FOUND by Jordan Eldredge in San Francisco, California

I found this near California State University Northridge. I am tempted to start a search for the kid based on his or her toe prints.

Break Up Letter

FOUND by Oriana L.L. in Brooklyn, New York

Found next to trash bags outside a 24 hour diner on 5th Avenue, Park Slope.

Horses

October 27, 2007

FOUND by Dustin M. in Conroe, Texas

I found this while walking along the side of the road. It made me wonder why it was lying in the grass on the side of the road, as opposed to on some parents’ refrigerator.

Big Time Yuppies

October 26, 2007

FOUND by Laura Applegate in Wayne County Library, Wooster, Ohio

I work in my local library where this little beauty was found. We check each book that is returned for damage, loose papers, etc. This tiny piece of paper was used as a bookmark. Its message: concise but completely baffling. Its message: profound. The snack of bagel bites and filet mignon sounds tasty! Ummm, am I a yuppie too?

Four Brothers?

October 25, 2007

FOUND by Markus Hartel in New York City, New York

This is a cheap machine/lab print of a vintage photo. My best guess is that the owner wanted to share this ancient picture with somebody, photographed it, and took the film for printing to the one-hour lab. I found this in Washington Heights close to- you guessed it- a one-hour lab.

Getting into Law School

October 24, 2007

FOUND by Mary Garboden in Grand Rapids, Michigan

I was shelving books at the library where I worked. I opened one up called “How to Get Into Law School” and noticed a little note stuck right below the title on the title page. I was especially impressed that the person cared enough about the book to write the message on a Post-It rather than the page of the book! I would like to find this person and ask them to subtitle more books.

Kind Soul

October 23, 2007

FOUND by Aaron Matthews in Toronto, Ontario

This is one part of a double-sided letter between two friends, found on the floor in my Hebrew class. Each side seems to be responding to the other, though I can’t tell what order it’s in.

Least Appropriate Use of Comic Sans

October 22, 2007

FOUND by Melissa Lorenzen in Bloomington, Indiana

I found this in a IU student lounge and I couldn’t believe they would use Comic Sans for something so serious. I also wondered what the “specific tasks” are that you can do to earn extra cash. And yes, people had taken a few of the tags at the bottom.
