Troo story...

I found a flash drive today just laying on the floor in the library at my college today. I asked around and nobody claimed it. I went on the flash drive to see if perhaps there was a document or file stating who owned it. Nothing. Completely blank. Ran my data recover program on it to see if there were any previously deleted files. Nothing. Just the password-protection program, which didn't have any password set yet.
Not a darn thing.

Oh well.
On the plus note, I now have a new 2GB flash drive

At my library, there is a drawer full of lost flash drives. People who lose them go to the desk, describe it, and get it back. Too bad the rightful owner of the flash drive that is in your possession won't have that same opportunity. THIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finders keepers sounds nice, but when you get down to it, is a bit unethical...

I think you should load it up with all sorts of inappropriate images and such and then turn it in to the library.

Haha. According to my spanish teacher, a student once brought in a floppy disk to present a project, and when he put in his disk, lets just say a little more than his project came up....

So... his project and some other homework, his music collection, and maybe some emails?

His boy parts came up physically? Gross! Why would you share that?

Unfortunately, there is nothing like that at my school.

The school network in the library banned flash drives because I guess last semester somebody loaded on a spam script that shutdown the whole network on startup.

If the rightful owner asks about it, or posts a bulletin about it, I'll give them a call. Better to hold onto it for now than to risk it falling into the wrong hands, eh?

I will only keep it until I find the rightful owner...
