Lost and Found

Montreal residents Shoshana and Dez thought their priceless photos of New York City were gone forever after they lost their digital camera's memory card during a 2008 trip. They posted an ad on Craigslist, but nothing turned up.

Found: The couple was shocked when the memory card arrived in the mail—three years later. Kelly Sullivan, a Museum of Modern Art attendant who was working the day Shoshana and Dez visited, had noticed the tiny memory card on the museum floor. She posted the photos to ifoundyourcamera.net, where Nicole Backs, a student in British Columbia stumbled on them while idly looking through photos. Backs had recognized Shoshana as a friend of her mom's, and the card made its way back home. "What were the odds?" said Backs.
