Lost and Found

On Friday evening I was getting organised for bunking down in the Cranbrook Baptist Church as part of last week’s ride for cancer from Perth to Albany.

I noticed something on the stage of the church. It was a USB thumb drive. I picked it up and figured that it must have belonged to someone from the church but it looked strangely familiar. It looked just like one that belonged to my wife Pauline which went missing in January this year.

I knew it couldn’t have been the one we’d lost because we’d never set foot inside that church before. The next morning, curiousity got the better of me and I asked Ash, our technical expert, to check out what was on it. Sure enough it was full of photos, our photos.

I’m guessing that it must have got caught up in my sleeping bag and seeing as Friday was the first time I’d used the sleeping bag since January, it must have dropped out when I was unpacking.

We’d searched high and low for the thumb drive at the time but we’d pretty much given up all hope of seeing it again. Who would have guessed that it would turn up in a church hundreds of kilometres from where it’d been lost 10 months later?

Have you found things that you thought were gone forever? What has been the strangest place you’ve found something? I’d love to hear your story so please drop me a line in the comments section of this post.
