Now all we have to do is wait for someone from carstalk to post and
claim that is a passport from a deceased relative of his

I have to wonder if someone stole his wallet and just threw the
contents out the window or something. It seems it would be difficult
to be that Phuc'n dumb.

Although the department that issues the passport was too phucking
stupid to realize the play on words was meant to point out how utterly
phucking stupid said agency was, I doubt that if it was tossed aside
like this there is any chance that the FBI is NOT looking for both
passport and person.

OTOH, I've found a $10 bill, lots of change, quite a few sockets (almost
always SAE rather than metric -- is there a lesson to be learned here?)
and a Gerber tool.

Consider the possibility that his wallet/whatever was stolen and the thief
just tossed the useless stuff out the window. On our bike rides we've
found half a dozen wallets that that explanation fits. If there's any ID
left I try to locate the owner -- last one was a kid who left his wallet
at a Starbucks -- gone when he went back for it, of course. His insurance
card was still inside, along with some photos etc. Kid was glad to get it
back.

Others I just drop in, for instance, the library return slot. I'm willing
to invest some effort, but not a lot.

That was on board one of the planes that crashed into the WTC but the
passport survived, completely intact!

What does scott care? He just sells it to some illegal immigrant in need
of ID.

I find all sorts of stuff too, especially while biking. I found a 9mm
deep 1/4" drive craftsman socket in front of my house... like 3
baseballs too, nice ones. On the road I've found a couple screwdrivers,
a wrench, a perfectly good roll of blue ducttape.... The oddest thing
I've found biking has to be the rear housing of a GSM cellphone that
wasn't even sold in the USA and didn't even function here. there is some
possibility it was molded a few miles from where I found it though.

There's a golf course about a half-mile up the street. Gentle hill. It's
amazing how far golf balls will roll...

The other day at a park my husband found a working cellphone. Fancy, GPS,
etc. He called one of the numbers, who called the owner, who called the
phone and said he'd be there to pick it up in an hour or so. Jeez, if I'd
lost something like that I would have tried to hurry a bit more! Even if
insurance covers stuff like that, you still have to fill up the
addressbook again etc....

No driver's license when you cash a check?

Might have been evidence or something. Fingerprints. DNA. All gone.
Because of you, a murderer will escape justice.

I could easily be an hour away from somewhere I lost something. I could
leave the second I found out and still need an hour or so to get there.
