My son Owen found two albums abandoned at a bench at the park. The pictures are old, most of them faded and the people in them look like the people from TITANIC. It was so sad to think of someone losing it. A couple told us it was there for days. I did not took them cause we had no gloves or anything to put it in. We went the very next morning, early. It was not there anymore. What happened, I do not know. But I did took some pictures. So much story lost and presumably not found.
