Thank you very much for posting your finding of a lost gold ear ring. It happens that my wife lost a very similar sounding ear ring. She was doing the laundry in our home in Mukilteo WA, and it caught on a sock she was putting into the dryer. Presumably, when the sock (also missing) was sucked into hyperspace by the action of the dryer, the ear ring became separated and arrived in your parking lot. If you would wrap the ear ring in a brown size 12 sock turned inside out (to reverse its hyper-path) and put it in your dryer, it will arrive back at our home, with at least moderately high probability.

My wife and I were on our return flight home, to Portland Oregon. Upon returning to her seat after her visit to the restroom she had noticed that one of her favorite gold loop earrings had mysteriously been removed from her ear. I imagined that the suction from a flushing toilet at our altitude was intense enough to tear the thing out of her ear. Of course she asked me to look for it. I immediately glanced out the window and sure enough there was that earring floating down into the parking lot of AT&T. We would be greatfull for its return, please put it in the mail today. We will gladly pay the necessary postage. Thank you ::::::

No one has said whether it is a right earring or a left earring. Also, no one wants to claim the gold rope, only the earring. I'll take the rope!! Thank you very much, please!

[Does this look like a flame ??? Well it might very well be so] Seems like the time is right for creation of net.lost+found. Nobody can claim that net.traffic in this area has risen to a degree where a separate news group would be feasible. Purpose of the newsgroup: a) Inquiries about lost items or data (missing articles included). b) Notifying of found items. (including articles appearing in strange newsgroups) c) Fill up all found disk space on receivers computer! Kim Chr. Madsen.

This way, whenever an AT&T employee loses something, an announcement will not be transmitted to the world. Moreover, this will prevent the endless flaming that always follows a stupid post. And if you look at this newsgroup, the volume of flaming is much greater than the volume of stupidity.
