For me, I have seen this as a nice reminder that many people are honest, and - at least - want to help children who have lost something.
Now I experienced this firsthand.
My friend had made a crocheted bookmark - a little frog. I wanted to bring it to my mother to enjoy it as well, and - well, I lost it!
I was very embarrassed, to say the least, and looked around ANYWHERE.
In the end I decided to use my observance that perhaps somebody had found it and put it on a fence or on a bush or tree.
There it was!
On a rosebush, hard to see with all the green around it.
Thank you to the honest finder who placed it on the rosebush!
