The Sunday Morning Detective Agency

I walk with a friend on the weekend - a brisk walk and talk, enjoying the scenery and catching up on the week. (Annoying her when I stop for photos with a 'you keep going, I'll catch up').

This week was unexpected excitement - we found a wallet. We took it to the apartment buildings to put in the mailbox but they were inside the security doors. We messed around a bit trying to get in until someone finally left and we scurried in. I then set about letting her know she didn't need to cancel her cards. I put messages in community fb groups and sent some PMs, only for the people with the same name to tell me that it wasn't theirs.

I googled her. Found her and sent an email through the business address. Realising that wouldn't be seen until too late, I texted someone in her industry and asked if they knew her. The person they were with actually DID know her, texted her and all was resolved.

I was there thinking how easy the tech world made it to solve these problems when my friend said "It shows you how easy it is to stalk someone". So I guess there's a lesson there, on privacy and our digital footprints. They are huge, even if we aren't on Social Media. 

However, as someone who has had to cancel cards and reset up all the direct debits, I was glad to save her that task unnecessarily.
