Items lost-but-not-yet-found include a wedding ring
Found after Burning Man festival: shoes, cameras, dentures
RENO, Nev. (AP) – Lindsay Weiss once lost her cellphone and got it back, so she and a friend knew what they had to do when they discovered a camera under a pew during a festival in the Nevada desert - even though it meant giving up their coveted, shady seat for a musical performance.
The friends snapped a quick selfie and took the device to the lost-and-found, so the owner could claim it and the pair could "forever be a part of their journey," Weiss said.
"Losing something out there on the playa makes its mark on your trip," she said of the sprawling counterculture gathering known as Burning Man. "Kinda makes you feel like a loser."
Cameras and IDs are among the more common belongings that end up in the lost-and-found after the event billed as North America's largest outdoor arts festival. Other items left behind in the dusty, 5-square-mile (13-sq. kilometer) encampment include shoes, keys, stuffed animals - even dentures.
