I Miss You Granny

May 28, 2012

FOUND by Jess Wobschall in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I found this Valentine’s letter unopened just as it was starting to snow. I hope this boy can continue expressing his feelings to women the way he does for his granny!

German Fireworks

March 9, 2012

FOUND by Jonathan tied to the stick of a spent firework, found laying in our garden New Year’s Day.

We live in Germany. As far as I can make out, it says:

“Dear heaven, I wish for more serenity for me, a friend for Carmen, health for Claudi and me, a new job! peace on Earth and always the right decisions! A star for you! Mama you passed on, you are missed so much”

I think I got the gist of it, and I hope that by sharing it, whoever wrote it gets what they wish for. Happy New Year!! :-)

I’m a Sinner

February 19, 2012

FOUND by Jeff Ford in the meat case of an ALDI grocery store

Someone was feeling deeply religious while buying a discount steak.

The Confession

October 25, 2011

FOUND by DB in Mount Pleasant, Michigan

This was found by a friend on the floor of a local supermarket. So reminiscent of my own Catholic childhood (although I NEVER dished this much to the priest!).

Petitioning the Lord

August 15, 2011

FOUND by Pennington in Flagstaff, Arizona

I have always wanted to find something strange, and I finally did.

Making Amends with the Guy Upstairs

April 22, 2011

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.

Part of a stack of index cards found by the trash outside of Lamplighter Roasting Co.

Hey God, Thanks

April 23, 2010

FOUND by Chris Muscavitch in Bloomington, Illinois

I found this while working the returns desk at my job. A woman came in who seemed to be in a rush. In her haste she didn’t notice that this little folded piece of triangular oragami fell out of her bag. Coincidentally, at this time I was in fact reading FOUND Magazine #6 between customers, so when I saw this I snatched it. After she left I unfolded the piece of paper, and well, you can see what I found.

The Divine Fax

November 8, 2009

FOUND by Skeeter in my fax machine

I had to send a fax, and found this on the fax machine. I would like to imagine he faxed it into a prayer hotline and that it was read aloud on the air. I can’t imagine why else you would fax a prayer, unless you had a direct line to heaven.

Dry Clothes, Pray

September 17, 2009

FOUND by Gretel Shuvzwichinstov in Portland, Oregon

Found in a rain puddle while walking the kids to school. I hope the person that lost this list didn’t forget what they needed to do.
