The Tale of A Lost & Found Camera
Rhonda Surman and her husband were hiking around some Bronze Age ruins in western Scotland when they found an Olympus digital camera, lying on the ground. The couple turned the camera over to the local police but when it was returned to them unclaimed they took matters into their own hands. Ms. Surman posted several of the 600 pictures on the camera on the Internet and, organized a group of amateur detectives who traced clues in the photos, leading them back to the camera's stunned and delighted owner. This New York Times article shares more about how traditional lost-and-founds are migrating online, and a batch of start-ups and hobby Web sites have sprouted with the aim of harnessing people's altruistic impulses to return lost items.
BE THE CHANGE
Consider what you have you lost and found in your own life, on the level of both the mundane and the profound. Reflect on how those experiences have connected you to others.
