    Picture of a lost iPhone, with a message to call the owner at a phone number. Guess taking pictures was in the job description, and returning lost property wasn't.

    Walzr's stuff is a fun portal into an earlier era of lighthearted fun internet projects. Keep it up buddy. Bop Spotter is probably still my favorite.

    scraped from....where? The Lost & Found systems are all public? Sorry I haven't had to dig something out of a lost & found that wasn't a cardboard box under a front desk or whatever...

      It is scraped from Pixit. They sell lost/found, evidence + seized item management systems. [1] The listings are public; it was cool OP turned this into a mini art piece.

      >Hundreds of places use one software tool for managing lost items, and I scraped their archives

      Am I not understanding your question? It's one system - and either their archives are public on purpose, or their endpoints are simply unsecured.

    I was thinking this was directory "lost+found", but it is about "lost and found" at places like airports.
