Were they stolen and dumped? Or just lost? A reader is hoping to get photos to their owner:
They were in a torn-apart photo album (no cover or binder). They were strewn all along Admiral Way, sort of near Schmitz Park. I even crawled under a couple vehicles to get some. They were very wet and covered in debris. My daughter and I just spent hours cleaning and drying them one by one.

All I can say is bless you for rescuing and taking such pains and good care of someone’s photos,. Especially-since personal photos are often their life story, and a lot of time and work goes into making a physical album. You might give a few more details about album size, context or distinctive contents of photos etc. the might ring a bell for someone who may not even know they are missing.
Ann, you win✴️good citizen award, thank you!! We need to hear more about these random acts of kindness and thoughtfulness👏
Oh my! I few years ago I had a someone take the photos I had ordered from online of family – I think they thought it might have been something more valuable … they opened the package a few blocks away from my place, and dumped it all to scatter on the wet streets. An amazing neighbor saved and dried every one of them and although I was prepared to re-print them, I was so touched by the kind and caring act of that neighbor. Agree – gold star for you and your daughter, and I hope they are reunited with their owner(s). I would say – had the neighbor not walked everything over, (the part of the box with my address was not ripped) I wouldn’t have even known the photos were missing – I might have thought they were just taking an extra long time arriving. Perhaps a little more detail in case a similar situation? (Owner might not know they are missing?) Good Luck! And thank you :)
This is my favorite story/post on the blog in ages. I know there are good people in our community and this story highlights a couple. I’ve returned to the post several times hoping for an update. I hope the pictures are reunited with their owners!
Haven’t heard from anyone but I do have some descriptive info from the finder. Am probably going to publish it separately since this is now a couple days down the main newsstream.
Sorry, comment time is over.
