Pain au Chocolat

I found this note stuck on the inside cover of Running in Heels, by Anna Maxted. I'm convinced its good luck because the lady only charged me 50 cents for the 23 books I picked out. Oh, and there really were crumbs inside, or maybe it was sand from the beach.

Gonna Pounce!

It's a polaroid of a kitten. Everybody loves kittens!

No Liver, No Yoghurt Raisins

The man who makes and sells jewelry on the corner next to my shop has been occasionally receiving letters from a woman possibly named Meredith. He does not know who she is, and though her return address is sometimes marked as the same city we live in, the envelopes will be stamped with Jackson, FL, Memphis TN, and other cities on the other side of the country. The letters are sent to a local coffee house and sometimes has a dollar in them.

Movember 1927

What did this band of mustachioed hooligans just successfully pull off?

Repoman

Well I guess to be a good repoman it probably helps to know the difference between a Cavalier and a Subara Impreza. My girlfriend found this under her windshield wiper while on business. She never bothered to contact Bob ... hope everything turned out sheriffic for Robert!

Penn Sucks

I moved into a new apartment in Baltimore and started drinking early with some friends to celebrate. Needless to say, I forgot I parked my car in a small alleyway to move my things in through the backdoor. I woke up the next morning with this note on my car, which has a Pennsylvania license tag, and realized that the trash men indeed could not possibly get through, but rather laid on the horn for an hour or so.

Scabby

Our for a post-breakfast stroll, my two roommates and I found this in the litter on the side of the walkway. If only we knew the backstory ... or maybe better that we don't.

Legs by Athenia

Got locked out of my room; while searching my pocket for my card, found this blue face down.

Trick on the Big Guy

During high school renovations, the yearbook was discarding "trash," which was a treasurefest for finds such as this.

Complimentary Paper Bag

I was walking to work and walked over an empty brown paper bag with multicolored writing on the visible side. I paused to read it without bothering to pick it up, and continued on my way. After walking a few blocks I couldn't stop thinking about the sweet thoughts written on the bag (and wondering what had been inside the bag originally) and decided that it needed to be rescued.
