Windshield Confession
FOUND by Gina
in Seattle, Washington
I found this on the windshield of my car one morning. I thought it was a parking ticket I hadn't noticed the night before, but I was wrong. I have no idea who in my apartment complex left it or who this could be, but I do remember there used to be a silver BMW that parked near me. And he's a home owner now - sounds like a keeper!

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
I love the print about claiming within 30 days, in this context...
email him the truth and see what happens
I appreciate the courage and straightforwardness of the guy who left this note. It's the kind of note (minus the Beamer and the house) I've often left for girls - most of whom seemed to have the same puzzled, non-plussed response as Gina.
Wow... So did Gina email him? How did it turn out?
oh damn - did you respond?
that note would've made my day. :)
Did you email him? That seems like a sweet note. He was probably too shy to talk to you, awww.
Let us know what happened!!
did you email him?
Honeeeeeeeeee - you have got to email him...BMW, house and WHAT A SWEETIE! If you don't...please let me have him!
Ooooh! This is rather exciting - go on, email him and then tell us how it went. The suspense is driving me crazy! (not that it's a long trip, mind you.)
Seems incongruous, not the usual approach from someone who drive a Beamer. My interest is piqued. Please update us.
Oooh, give us the email! ;]
Wow, I'm really cynical. As I was reading this, I thought, "Hmm, riiight...says he had the BMW and now mentions purchasing and moving to his own home...yeah, dude, I get it, you're 'successful.' Why not use that small space to simply write, 'I've moved'? " Like others here, I admired the guy's (if that's who wrote it) courage , but basically thought the note was a fraud 'til I read what Gina had to say. It didn't occur to me the intended receiver sent this in, I figured it was found on the ground or something.
For Gina's sake, I definitely hope this was legit-- what a great story for the kids! So, yeah, Gina send us the email photo!
EMAIL HIM. Do it! And let us know what happens. =)
Did he write his e-mail twice? If he moved, what is he doing back at the apartment (if not stalking you)? I want to give him the benefit of the doubt but it seems a bit more than a shy crush.
Awwww, email him!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Such a wuss move leaving a note on a car after you've moved? What, he didn't have the courage to ask you out face to face?? This guy is a rich coward. And please if he drives a BMW I'd like to think the note would be on an actual piece of paper not his dry-cleaning bill. Don't do it! He's a wuss!
Steve in Boston:
Maybe he was waiting until he had something to offer the girl - like a HOUSE! And the dry cleaning receipt...he can afford dry cleaning. At $3.69 an item this proves he is a great catch.
so what happened? i agree with jaded you should send us the photo. let us know something dont just leave us hanging.
It amuses me that Gina sent it in. But I want to know what happens too!
pick up his dry cleaning and pretend to deliver it, and check him out.
so did you email him? how did it go?
Aw, that's so cute. It made me giggle. Hehe =)
He has nice handwriting.
I emailed him!
We had coffee and drove me home and then f*cked me in the back of his Beamer.
And they lived happily ever after.
The End.
Aww.. I think I would die if I ever recieved a note like this. How sweet.
"Gina in Seattle said:

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! whether that's the true gina's response or not, that made me LOL, for real. :P
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA that is awesome!! I agree with the post above..i dont know if its the actual Gina but i'm REALLY hoping it is because that would be great! lol
I'm prettttty sure that was not the real Gina. But yeah, it made it chuckle!
... ok, not trying to rain on a parade here...but... my thought (yeah, i'm a dude) - is he insecure about "himself"? Why mention buying a house? I understand mentioning the car - I remember living in an apartment, and sometimes thats how you recognize people - "the chick who drove the bug"...
Personally - I don't mention *things* or material items when I first meet a chick. Wouldn't in a first written letter either. Just got divorced from a materialistic woman. Start out on that foot - and they WILL love you for your money.
It's cool that he wrote a letter, don't get me wrong. But it would be nice to see that he had some spine. Get a girl to write based on some reference - "I was the guy who almost ran over your dog". etc.
sorry... just bitter about the whole materialistic view society tends to have...
This does strike me as a little odd... He's probably either really obsessive, really shy, or really ugly.
because of bugs in Found, i'm travelling across the space time continuum of finds. I started in August 2002, then to January 2006. Now i'm in november 2006, and trying to find my way back to Feb 12, 2008. here i go
It looks like it says, "Not sane if you recall."
Why, yes, I do remember you, and if I recall, YOU ARE NOT SANE!!
I'm going to hazard a guess that the Gina post above was NOT from the actual Find submitter. I will also add that it's in EXTREMELY bad taste to insult a Finder like that. Shame on you, whoever posted as Gina.
Mona, didn't you have ANYTHING to say about the Find of the Day from 11-26-06? That IS why you were redirected here, don't you know.
Gina, you should have said if you e-mailed him! It's so sweet.
@wanderig, that "not sane if you recall" part caught my eye too. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it. Is it a joke? A confession? Something in between?
Also, the Hi! I met you once! approach is really weird to me coming in note form. No context, no name (unless it was cut off--hopefully so!)... sorry, guy, but I'll bet Gina's met lots of people once. Is she supposed to guess which one you were? It's all very strange to me.
I think that if Gina had emailed the dude that she would have kept this note for posterity. She could take it out of the scrapbook every anniversary and show the kids, "See, kids, the cute little note your daddy left me, and that's how I knew he liked me!" But she won't be doing that every anniverary because she sent it in to FOUND. My guess is that this went nowhere.
that's not "sane" or "insane" it looks like "just in case"
as far the lack of name goes that does seem very odd unless its part of the email address that's smudged out.
