Last week I was out at a client's site in Redwood Shores and when I returned to my car, I noticed something lying near. It turned out to be an iPod Shuffle. It was late and there weren't any cars nearby, so I had no idea who might have lost it. Bad for them, good for me.

Took it home, plugged it into the laptop and it worked! It would've been cool to see the previous owner's playlist -- and maybe there might have been some identifying info -- but iTunes was smart enough to recognize it had been registered to another copy of iTunes, and the only way to it was to erase the Shuffle and start over.
