Rob Cockerham of cockeyed.com is a sociologist provocateur that we've featured quite a few times here on Boing Boing. His experiments never fail to delight and illuminate. Recently Rob found $60 in parking lot and when he reported it on Craigslist he received three replies. Intrigued, he posted another (this time, ersatz) announcement that he'd found money and wanted to return it to its rightful owner. Look how four "different" people replied to his annoucement:
Catherine: I was shopping at the mervyns on camp wisdom with my family I was in too much of a hurry to take the picture.Frantic rescue effort saves doll, not baby (news.com.au) (via Hang Fire Books )No camera? No photo. It's as simple as that. Who knew?
Happily, the solution turns out to be a doll belonging to the owner's wife.
