scraped from....where? The Lost & Found systems are all public? Sorry I haven't had to dig something out of a lost & found that wasn't a cardboard box under a front desk or whatever...

It is scraped from Pixit. They sell lost/found, evidence + seized item management systems. [1] The listings are public; it was cool OP turned this into a mini art piece.

>Hundreds of places use one software tool for managing lost items, and I scraped their archives

Am I not understanding your question? It's one system - and either their archives are public on purpose, or their endpoints are simply unsecured.

I was thinking this was directory "lost+found", but it is about "lost and found" at places like airports.

Go ahead and cut a notch out of my expertise card, but in all my years playing with UNIX, I’ve never used that directory.
