Lost and found on the Net
August 7th 2007 09:45
It had to happen.
A blogger friend of mine posted some paragraphs about dancing shoes that had gone into the Lost and Found column of a newspaper. She speculated that they might have danced off by themselves.
Which set me off wondering what Google would turn up if I put ‘Lost and Found’ in as a search. And blow me down, the first thing to turn up is a site that deals solely in lost and found items around the world - including New Zealand. For instance, at present someone in Papamoa is looking for the pet cat, a white long-haired Birman male, whose name is Caspar. Caspar is wearing a blue collar with a blue name tag, and has a little bell
attached to the collar. He was relocated from Hamilton and had only been in Papamoa for a few days when he went missing. Obviously disorientated, poor chap!
You’d think the Internet might be too vast a forum to deal satisfactorily with lost and found animals and other items, but according to the user comments, people do find their pets - and someone even found a wallet he‘d lost in another city - so obviously the site is working successfully.
The site has been going for several years, which is a considerable achievement as far as the Net is concerned.
