I don't agree that people should not pick things up if they are lost and post about them. What I do agree with is the fact that it may not be as effective as dropping it off at a police station. How about a hybrid? Pick it up, post about it, then drop it off at a police station.
The idea of a community lost and found is a good idea. People who are generally out and about in Davis will find some way of hearing about it. The problem may be tacking things up in competing stores. I do not believe the cafe down the street will enjoy have Diesel's name posted on their walls. But! Being as Diesel almost shuts down every other year, they might appreciate the additional business from fliers around the square.
I say, write something up... Perhaps we could hold a community meeting discussing a way to effectively execute this.
