Australian woman collects quirky notes she finds on the street

Men and women have a lot going on in their heads while travelling and while many forget, some write it down. With busy lives, we bump into many people and things are always spilling, including these notes. A woman in Australia however has been collecting notes that she has found on the road that were dropped by random people.

According to a report in the Metro, Australian Laura Sullivan has been collecting handwritten notes that she has been finding since 2005 while others would walk past it. The woman started collecting it because one fine day 12 years back she found a very interesting sticky note at Sydney Woolsworth on the pavement that had a shopping list on one side and a reminder to attend a counselling session for drug and alcohol addiction. That was the first but she found many more and hasn’t stopped since then.

The collector now has over 400 notes from various parts of the country and outside including Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Toronto and even New York; the latter was the most impressive. She has however collected many more but decided to throw away many initially for more interesting ones. Interestingly, she now wants to return some of them back to their owners through an online search that has been titled #HaveIFoundYours.
