I saw this advert on Gumtree this morning.

"Driving southbound on the Mitchell freeway Saturday the 2nd of March approaching Vincent st exit I picked up a 7'6 surfboard with board bag, no damage. If this is yours and you can identify text me to pick up."

I found a "lost & found mate" today. It has been just under 14 years since we saw each other. It was good to see him again. Especially since we thought there was a good chance he was pushing up roses... He was seriously MIA for 3-4 years, even his family couldn't track him down. But after 3 stints in mental rehab, some mild medication, and diagnosed schizophrenia, he's back... He's back on the coast, and keen to get into Longboarding, and ditch his shortboard, that he struggles with.

good news story that one - sincerely hope he is on the mend mate
