FOUND by Bridget Boudreau in South City, St. Louis, Missouri

My husband found this in our front yard. We live in a very urban area, and our house is across from the main gathering spot for the young’uns on the block. Sometimes all their noise and rowdiness drives us crazy, but after finding this, my soft spot for them has grown three sizes.

An awesome note three friends and I found stuck under the windshield wiper of our car outside of a porn store, circa 2005. We had been inside for about 30 minutes, giggling at their video selection. We have no idea who left it, but being that we were all straight and relatively sane, we didn’t take him up on the offer.

FOUND by Dani in St. Louis, Missouri

A couple years ago, while painting the inside of a closet in her home, my mom’s brush ran into something stuck between the slats in the closet wall… she pulled out a child’s wallet from the 1940′s belongeing to a boy named Ken Bock or Ken Bouk. I did some digging early on to try and locate the wallet’s owner but had no luck. When I moved recently, I found the wallet again and was reminded how fun it’s contents were … so I’m sharing! Included with these cards was also the pieces of a torn up note. From the best I can tell… the note read as follows: (1st writer) “If Harper thinks that (name?) likes her, she has another thing coming. Last Friday at the party, the (?) was doing okay, but he was just out for a good (time?). He said he thinks Harper is a (sloppy? looks?) and has the (big hips?) and all kinds of things. Do you know who I did like 4 day ago?” (2nd writer) “No but that must have been something if you don’t like them anymore.” (1st writer) “If you want to know it was you. But it wasn’t a chance with (Charles?). Had made up my mind to go back to (Harp?)”
