Friday Funny – For Land-Lovers!
Sep 28th, 2007 by msdanielle
OK, when I first saw this sign, I had to take a picture of it. Is it unfortunate? Yes. Is there a girl somewhere in Orange County feeling sad? Yes. Is it funny? I hate to say it, but yes.
I don’t know where else you’ll find a “Lost Surfboard” sign than in Orange County, California. Have any of you ever seen one? I parked next to this one near my friend’s house in Irvine. It reads, “Lost near [address] on Fri. 9/7. This was a present from my sister. Please help me find it!” When I read “Lost,” I was expecting to read “Cocker spaniel” after it, or something of that nature. I suppose it’s these types of cases that create the stigma of everyone in Orange County being a surfer.
Well, while I jest about the humor of the sign, I understand Connie, as she’s called, is really missing her board. So if anyone happens to cross paths with the evil-doer who took poor Connie’s board from her (!) let me know and I’ll give her a ring. 
Happy Friday, everybody!!

Then the nature has been shifted naturally, perhaps …
Reckon that boards had a respray and the serial numbers changed by now, at least it was not her dog!!
That is definitely a weird thing to have lost. Only in the OC.
yea i was relieved it wasn’t a lost child or puppy or something living!
Haha, hope she finds it!
This is a pretty interesting way of getting attention for a lost surfboard. I wonder if it would work with other items like computers or coffee mugs (seriously, who keeps taking my coffee mugs?).
btb, congrats on having a half-million dollar site, Danielle. I recently checked out my site with Dane Carlson’s site valuation tool, then decided to check yours, and you broke the $500,000 mark
Hey – that’s given me an idea – a mock flyer to induce peeps to visit a website. Something Lost – a reward offered. Visit website – and wha-hey.
Although I don’t like the route I’m going down. Bad thoughts. Baaaaad thoughts.
