“You’re a fucking liar. I hate you. I fucking hate you. P.S. Page me later.”

When Davy Rothbart found that note affixed to his windshield, his curiosity was piqued and a movement was birthed.

Though not the intended recipient of the note, Rothbart, along with pickup hoops teammate Jason Bitner, launched Found.

The publication’s pages are plastered with snapshots, grocery lists, memos … just about anything capable of offering the briefest of glimpses into the lives of strangers.

Published according to the “whenever the hell we feel like it” calendar, Found celebrates its fifth installment, the “Crime Issue,” with an evening of new finds, sordid tales and maybe a tune or two.

Even if you can’t stop by to kick it with Rothbart, at least have the decency to slap a cryptic Post-It on his windshield. (Joshua Valocchi)
