BFF Monogomy

May 17, 2013

FOUND by Miranda in Kalamazoo, Michigan

Found this treasure in the parking lot where I work, in which one little girl is explaining to another why they can’t be best friends. Ouch!

Big Church Wedding

April 4, 2013

FOUND by Liz in Detroit, Michigan

A typewritten, fill-in-the-blank enigma. Who wrote it? What for? Why a big church wedding? What does the last sentence mean?? How long has it been since you’ve thought of the word “daffy?”

Diary of the Unfair

February 1, 2013

FOUND by Katie in Michigan

Someone was really upset about not having a seat in the living room.

Double Heeled

November 24, 2012

FOUND by Angela in Wyoming, Michigan

This photo was found in a drawer in a classroom of the alternative high school I attended. Since the school lacked funding, prom photos were taken by teachers with students posing in front of cheap backdrops. I’m not sure if the double exposure was an accident or done intentionally by a student in the darkroom.

Will You Kiss Me After School

November 1, 2012

FOUND by Chris in Ypsilanti, Michigan

I found this outside of an elementary school.

My Little Avengers

August 14, 2012

FOUND by Katy in Michigan

I work at a toy store, and while walking down an aisle this morning I saw this lying on the floor next to our train play table. Upon picking it up, it took me a moment to realize it was an amazing drawing of the Avengers, complete with sound-effect balloons. It made me a bit sad to know that a young kid had lost their drawing, but it totally made my day. It’s hanging in our break room now!

Race Wars

July 10, 2012

FOUND by Laura G. in Wyandotte, Michigan

I work at a public library and one of our patrons left this in our copy machine. Another patron found it and turned it in to the staff. I guess they thought the sign-maker would be coming back for it.

I Will Control Myself

June 13, 2012

FOUND by Robert in Detroit, Michigan

This item was found on my front lawn on Cavalry, back around 1989-90. A student must have dropped this on his way home from school. There were three pages of this at one time: I sent two pages to friends, and I had the last copy framed.

Runnie

January 23, 2012

FOUND by Jamie Lynn in Detroit, Michigan

My husband found this on our front porch.

Gonna Be a Great Summer

December 5, 2011

FOUND by Sun Runner in the parking lot near Hines Park, Northville, Michigan

Sunday afternoon, June 5, I was at Hines Park in Northville (Michigan) with some running buddies. I was crossing a dirt parking lot when I looked down and saw a folded piece of paper pressed into the dirt. I picked it up and saw it was marked “confidential: property of Miranda, Alex, Emily, and Rachel.” I unfolded it and, well, I have rarely laughed so hard in my life. The sad part is, this note was lost before anything got checked off.

Somewhere out there, in southeast Michigan, four friends are about to have a great summer.
