I'm sure this is the longest of long shots, but can anyone in GA put me in touch with a guy called Russel D Taunton who works (or worked) for the Georgia Dept of Public Safety?. (250 Larry Walker Parkway, Perry GA, 31069).

I found something of his in the middle of the Selous and I'd like to return it to him......

shakari,

Try http://www.switchboard.com and enter the name. address & zip...

When you find him, and you will, tell him you want to go wild hog hunting. That area is over
run with hogs,

Thanks for the advice folks - but it didn't come up with anything....

It's early days yet so hopefully someone else might come up with something......

Steve,

I phoned them, he is still employeed, but it is his day off. They wouldn't take a message. I'll call again tomorrow and ask him to contact you here.

This came up in Yahoo! People Search but I don't know if it is the same person:

Russell Taunton

189 Pinecrest Dr
Cordele, GA 31015-5413 (map)

Tel.: (229) 276-9341

One man, half a world away, finds something that belongs to another man in Georgia and wants to return it to him.

After a couple hours of looking, the man is found and object stands a decent chance to being returned. How cool is that?

Its a small world ain't it?

Thanks Guys,

I'll look forward to hearing from him! His lost property doesn't have any value but I thought he's like to have it back - I'll bet he never thought he's ever see it again!

well, i don't want to be nosey, but admit that I'm curious as to what it could be?

Nothing special - just some old ID - but I thought it'd be kinda nice to get it back to the rightful owner......

Tried whitepages.com for this result

Russell & Kara Taunton
242 Sirmons Rd
Cordele, GA 31015-5831
(229) 276-9341

Good luck.....

Here is one of the better search engines on the 'net. Took less than 30 seconds to find him. http://www.zabasearch.com/

Not every wife lost in the bush was lost accidently.



(Only joking of course! )

- If I thought it was that easy I'd invite my ex wife on a safari!!!!!

I think I am going to regret that humour post for a very long time.

Had the same thing happen to me twice - once I left an important address book on the top of my car - drove off and if fell off on the turnpike. A lady mailed it to me the next day from a city several hundred miles away.

Next time, I left a pocket Bible on the tram at the DFW airport. Guy picked it up and tried to track me down and made contact a month later.

All in all, people in all of the world are good folks, honest, want to do the right thing and enjoy being a good person.

Aaaaarrgh! - don't you just hate answerphones!

I'll keep trying!

It may be a good idea to put your search on hold at least until Monday.This is a holiday weekend in the states and with him being off today I would suspect that he may be out of pocket for the weekend.

I called again and my frst info was wring. He is no longer employed there. But, his cousin is and is assigned to Special Investigations. I left a messge for the cousin to call.
