so you can go on missing a sock why would you want to call someone to get an old sock back just buy a new pair, im sure if youre living in nyc you gotta have some money lying around for a new pair of socks.

The best poster I saw was, no joke, "Name Our Child." Under the main headline it said "You have until the first week of April"

Hah! The most accurate way to match it with the sock's owner is by the odor! (assuming this all is not a joke). Sherlock Holmes, the game is afoot!

The best lost pet poster I ever saw was in Park Slope. There was the requisite photo of cute cat, and below that, it said: "HELP! I wandered into Great Lakes on Saturday night, had too many martinis and forget where I lived. Please help me get back home." I wanted to take one down as a souvenir but was afraid I would sabotage the poor drinkin' cat's chance at being reunited with his human.

I'm obsessed with lost pet posters (of course I have the book!) Recently a lost cat in my neighborhood was apparently found, and the people wrote "FOUND!!" all over the posters in the 'hood rather than just taking them down. A found pet! It brings me joy.

I recently lost a pet I didn't like that much. I would hate to lose a sock I loved!

I actually saw the people putting these signs up on University yesterday. They looked like college students, so the psychology experiment idea may have some merit. Or...not.

Existentially speaking, can one actually find a missing sock? That is, if one has found it, it is no longer missing. One can find a lost sock, but this missing sock mystery is quite the confusion. And how do they know it was missing to begin with? Maybe it was just going for a hop around the block.
