> Indeed I didn't send the message Emil said did not come from me, nor would
I send such a thing. Nor did I demand that Judy do anything. I simply said
that I hoped she would try to find the owner--since she was already going
through the trash, looking for an envelope or other identifying item would
have been easy. It also would have been easy to knock on nearby doors and
ask if anyone recognized the pencil box without saying what was in it. I'm
sure whoever lost the money would have appreciated her efforts. As Dale
noted, Judy might want to think how she would feel had she inadvertently
tossed something like that.

trash turns out to be much more public than we think.
