Found: Address Book

[anotherjen.livejournal.com]

I found someone's "Timeline" address book in Davis Square last Sunday. It's about three-by-five inches, and brown leather, with handwritten names, phone numbers, and addresses in it. My guess is that the handwriting belongs to a woman. She's from another country, I am guessing the Netherlands. There's a schedule for the Dance Complex in the back of the book. Maybe I'll just drop it off there, if I don't hear anything on LJ. I'd thought about calling random people from the book - there are a lot of 617 numbers - but first off, I don't want to bug anyone, and second, how would they be able to figure out whose book they were listed in? Anyway, if you all know anyone who might have lost her address book, let me know.

Oh, go ahead and call people! They might find it amusing. Taking it to Dance Complex might get it farther from home; that's all the way in Central.

Or maybe, how about xeroxing the front cover of it, and putting up posters saying "found" near the location where you found it?

Oh sure, because I am so bored with all this free time of mine....

i found someone's address book/calendar downtown last year. after reading through the whole thing, i was able to determine that some of the people were relatives. i contacted them and they got me the owner's address. i then sent it back to him and he was so grateful to get it back! (he'd lost all his stuff that day. had those bdu pants on with the pockets that are attached funny & so if you don't put stuff in right, you're actually just dropping stuff behind the pocket and subsequently onto the ground!)

so...do some sleuthing and connect the dots. you may be able to find a good connection w/someone who knows the owner.
