Yay, Intarwebz!

On my walk today, I found a wallet in the middle of the street. It still had credit cards and cash in it. I googled the name on the license, and was able to find a Facebook page for someone by that name. I cross-checked that with a LinkedIn profile that had the person working in the greater Boston area, and then verified that someone who had once had an address in the city where that person went to college, had also once had an address in the state where the license was from. I sent the person a message on Facebook, so hopefully this lady will be getting her wallet back tout de suite.

I like being a researcher, sometimes. :)

I can see a glow in the northeastern sky and I know it's coming all the way from Boston. Your halo must be shining bright tonight:-) You are totally going to make that lady's millenium!
