Cameras don’t take pictures. People take pictures ;-)

Great, great story! I’m a nut about mysteries and when I hear about a story like this it really gets my detective juices flowing.

Back in 1994 I was living in Cheyenne, Wyoming, when my oldest daughter (who was 2 at the time) found a ladies wallet in our basement. I was doing laundry and she came up and handed it to me. I never could figure out quite where in the basement she found it. Anyway, I checked through it and found it was from the late ‘70s. I found a name, and cross-referenced it with others in Cheyenne. I ended up finding the owner’s Mom, who put me in touch with her daughter. I called her and told her my daughter had found her wallet. She remembered being at a party at our house (long before we owned it) back in the ‘70s and her wallet was stolen.

To make a long story short, she wasn’t too interested in getting it back. I told her I’d hang on to it at my work and she could come by anytime and get it. Two years went by and she never showed up. I finally pitched it. I love stories like this, but I guess the feeling isn’t the same for everyone.
