>> eg:
>>
>> FOUND: keys (Ely)
>> LOST: cat (Grangetown)
>>
>> And if you get an item you have lost using this group please
>> let everyone know by posting a FOUND message.
>>
>> One thing that we ask though is to not give a lot of detail about
>> the item if you are posting a FOUND message. Just a breif
>> description of what it is. Let the 'loser' explain something
>> in particular about the item so you know it's going to the
>> rightful owner.
>>
>> We figuered that this is such a huge group that our success
>> rate should reflect that.
