UPDATE: The iPod has been returned! See below..
I found an iPod lying on the street on the way to work this morning.
Personally, if I lost my iPod i’d be gutted, so i’ll do what I can to find the rightful owner and return it to them!
If this fails, i’ll either take it to the Police, or ask Apple if they can help.
In all honesty, if I hand it in to the police, I wouldn’t be suprised if it was “accidentally” lost..
So far i’ve posted to a couple of local mailing lists. I’ve checked out lostipods.com but no luck so far.
The most interesting thing is that the iPod has photos on it - what with Brighton having such a close-knit community, i’m sure that if I post a photo from this iPod, someone is going to recognise them, and might be able to help me find who the iPod belongs to!
I’ll print out some sheets of A4 and stick them up near where I found it.
If you recognise the people in the photo, or can give me some info on this, then email me at: foundipodinbrighton{at}googlemail{dot}com
Now just in case you’re thinking of blagging this and claiming it as your own, don’t even think about it! This iPod is peronalised in so many ways, i’ll be asking anyone who says it’s theirs a lot of questions to help identify it as their own! 
Ok, here’s the photos:
Recognise them? Get in touch!
[edited to remove one photo as some people thought it was a bit too personal - fair play]
UPDATE: 24 hours later, it’s been returned!
It seems that a post i sent to BNM was seen by a certain Carl Hodler, who happened to see that someone on Facebook had set their status to “…is pining for her lost ipod..” - he then contacted her, she contacted me, and the rest is history!
I met up with Lucy this morning, returned the iPod, and now i’m in the possession of a rather nice bottle of 2003 Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon - thanks Lucy! Oh, and most importantly, good karma!
Edit: Actually Al read it from my post on FlashBrighton, who then sent it round Kerb
This is mine, please call me on 0891 50 50 50
Full credit to you for the amount of effort you’re putting into this search! Most people would have swiped it so its good to see.
Well done Luke, very funny :|:|:|:|
Hmmm, lets examine the evidence:
Wristbands, tents. A festival? Strip of sea in the background, a festival by the coast? There hasn’t been one in Brighton recently. The weather suggests it was probably this summer. There is a security guard and a security fence.
But what about that guy’s shiny jacket. What if they’re … ulp … Europeans.
note the big hill next to the sea. looks almost like wales in fact..
oh, people have suggested looking at the JPG EXIF data. nothing.

Thanks Mat
You wouldn’t believe how many people have said to me they’d have just taken it!
To be honest, it DID cross my mind, briefly. But only briefly!
I guess it’s all about treating others as you’d like to be treated yourself, and spreading good karma
If they’re enough of a sheep to buy one in the first place they deserve to lose it, in fact they are probably overjoyed having realised that they have and don’t want it back and are actually basking in their new found individuality
oh my god!!!! you’ve found my ipod!!!! I’ve been feeling dreadful all day. It really is mine, it says Lucy engraved on the back, and there is a photo of my daughter on it, the picture shown above is taken by me of my friends at Rock Ness (Loch Ness) last year, the ipod is in a black leather case.
I work at 11-14 Kensington St, and that’s where it was lost I think - somewhere on that st anyway
my mobile is —– ——
thank you thank you!! I owe you a very large drink
xxx
thanks to the unlimited powers of facebook your missing ipod owner may well have been found
lots of khama point in your direction
This is great, well done, I agree treat others the way you would like to be treated, never knew this kind of thing went on. What if there is a registration serial number on the back, surely the owner would have registered it with Ipod for a gaurantee to be effective!!!
Nice one Carl!
A heart warming story.
Good karma stuff. I’m waiting for the RomCom based on this coming out soon.

As long as the movie is directed by Kevin Smith I’ll happily negotiate the rights
HOORAY FOR IESTYN!!

haha, that gives me a warm sensation of good karma in my belly. god bless you yezza.
Yup good karma his way, and Carl’s too!
And not to the first poster Joe King’s >
What a nice story. Imagine if it belonged to a celebrity or politician and there were seriously incriminating pictures… who would star as the “finder”?
