Found is a website (and magazine and book) devoted to, well, found things: notes, photos, whatever. For example, people buy a used book and find some cryptic note or picture wedged in the pages.
The "object", if there is one, is to think about those small things we leave behind. Each found object is a story, although (of course) we don’t know what the story is.
A good site to browse. Here’s some found items —
