>When something turns up at a stadium or an airport, staff photograph it, log it, and wait. Hundreds of places use one software tool for managing lost items, and I scraped their archives: thousands of accidental portraits of lost stuff.
Where? What Software? What Archive?
So many photos of peoples lock screens with clearly visible faces...

Picture of a lost iPhone, with a message to call the owner at a phone number. Guess taking pictures was in the job description, and returning lost property wasn't.

Walzr's stuff is a fun portal into an earlier era of lighthearted fun internet projects. Keep it up buddy. Bop Spotter is probably still my favorite.

scraped from....where? The Lost & Found systems are all public? Sorry I haven't had to dig something out of a lost & found that wasn't a cardboard box under a front desk or whatever...

I was thinking this was directory "lost+found", but it is about "lost and found" at places like airports.
