FOUND by Matthew C. in Proctor, Vermont

I found this on a car seat.

Dear Towel Owner

September 19, 2011

FOUND by Chloe Heymans in Vermont

I found this in the bathroom of my dorm, taped on a shelf. After a couple of days, and with no sign of the towel, I decided it was time to take this little treasure for my own.

Taped inside a very nice public bathroom in my very nice dorm.

FOUND by Emery in Vermont

I found this in the downtown area of my hometown. I just really freaking love this note. The writer seems like a kid I would have wanted to be friends with when I was in school.

Dress-up Kitty

FOUND by Sam in Middlebury, Vermont

I think this gem was from the 1800s printed on a large glass plate negative that I found.

Rocket Scientist

October 16, 2009

FOUND by Minton Clark in Burlington, Vermont

My husband found this in our front yard a few days ago. Sounds like a fed-up roommate to me! I really like the cryptic “haul” at the bottom of the note. I mean, was there enough dirt to actually need hauling rather than sweeping or mopping?

You Bring the Paper Bag

December 21, 2008

FOUND by Amber in Vermont

This was stuck to the wall above one of the washing machines in the basement of a residence hall on campus.

Never Ending Bender

October 12, 2008

FOUND by Mamie in Burlington, Vermont

I found this on the street near downtown. I sure hope that the person wrote it got over her bender and started cleaning.

Asshat!

August 17, 2008

FOUND by Minton Clark in South Burlington, Vermont

I found this in the Price Chopper parking lot. Obviously, some jerk parked his car across two or more spots. I like the way the author emphasizes the offender’s obvious sense of entitlement by underlining “you,” as well as the use of “asshat” as opposed to the more pedestrian “asshole.”

Monkee Astronaut

November 28, 2007

FOUND by Jake in Burlington, Vermont

I found this in a book (a bookmark?) while I was looking through an old library collection at an estate sale. 1954 is typed on the back, that’s it. It seems so lonely, like no one else exists in this world, but someone is taking the picture. It seems sad that the plane is tipped up on an edge like its crashed. Also the expressionless monkey mask creeps me out.
