Karma Clouds

May 22, 2013

FOUND by Ara Lucia on McLean Avenue and Damen Avenue, Chicago, Illinois

This sign was posted by the loading zone adjacent to the My Pie Pizzeria in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood. I assumed the area was designated for use by the restaurant’s delivery drivers. A BMW was present when I found this.

Linderie Show

April 5, 2013

FOUND by Andrew K. in Chicago, Illinois

This was given to me by a patient who invited me to his free linderie (lingerie) show. 25 bucks seemed pretty sweet but he had me at free chilly and chips.

Stop Crying

December 28, 2012

FOUND by Celeste Arruda in Chicago, Illinois

I found this in the bushes by my dorm.

Treadmill Duck

December 12, 2012

FOUND by Kateri in Chicago, Illinois

Found on the sidewalk in my neighborhood in April of 2012. They didn’t show up on the scan, but the paper actually has dusty shoeprints on it from being walked over. It’s been posted on my refrigerator since then, but I’m moving and it has to go. I thought FOUND would make a nice home for this masterpiece of the strange.

Killing Ashton

October 27, 2012

FOUND by Emily in Shawnee National Forest, Ozark, Illinois

I was camping with my ma a year ago when I found this on one of the trails. It appears the girl is having a conversation with herself (or someone with eerily similar handwriting).

Basket Bitch

September 1, 2012

FOUND by Katie Frey on Clark Street in Wrigleyville, Chicago, Illinois

So apparently this person did NOT care for what this bike rider had to say, and they made sure they knew it by writing this on the back of a Bar Louie receipt.

FOUND by Ryan D. in Logan Square, Chicago, Illinois

Found this letter across the street from an elementary school. I thought it might be a love letter, and it is, sort of, but a little more poignant from a young mother to her absentee (locked up?) partner expressing love for her kids and hope for the future. I think it’s pretty much up your alley.

Luke’s Little Sister

February 4, 2012

FOUND by Justin Goh in Chicago, Illinois

Found in the middle of what I thought was an empty notebook I bought at a thrift store.

The Saddest Dad

January 22, 2012

FOUND by Mike G. at Frisbee Golf course in Olympia Fields, Illinois

We found this hand-written note to a dad blowing in the wind in the middle of a frisbee golf course.

Cruel

December 11, 2011

FOUND by Kelsey in Chicago, Illinois

Found this right outside the front door of my apartment building. I don’t own a car, so I rarely go into the parking garage other than to throw my garbage into the dumpster, so I’m not sure if this was written to the residents of my building or not.
