Can Rootschat members help? - Lost Teddy Bear 'Seeks' Owner

Unless you are sure the individual is dead I would use a 110 year rule from the DoB!

This is variable for bears!!!

Whilst what the RC members have found is amazing there is far too much conjecture involved.  Like others this seems to be a hoax in my mind after all I would have thought that someone leaving this at the airport would have at least contacted them or had the airport they were flying to contact them asking if the said bear had been handed in.  Especially with the publicity it has generated

Louise,

Merry Christmas to you, and thank you for your enthusiasm! We do have to protect the privacy of living people though, because once the cat is out of the bag (or the bear) then it's too late. We don't know what impact that an international story like this can have on people so we are all just trying to help in our own little way.

So keep contibuting, and between us all we can discover some amazing things. All the very best over the festive period, and I hope the New Year brings you lots of realy interesting and worthwhile surprises.

Hi Louise

Welcome to Rootschat

I can only assume that others just failed to notice how new you were when pointing out your mistake, I'm sure they were only meaning to be helpful by letting you know Rootschat policy. Please don't let it put you off posting.

Good luck with your research, I hope it leads somewhere.
Have a good Christmas
Jan

Welcome Louise do not be put off continue to post I still make mistakes and post things by mistake that I should not have. We have all done it.

Oh dear, I'm so sorry Louise, I really didn't mean to upset you. I should have used a smiley
I wasn't sure what the rule on here was either and it was meant to be more of a question, as I know that many sites (rightly in my opinion) have this rule.
I should have made sure before I posted

You have completely misunderstood the good intentions of Chrissie and others, who merely informed you of the rootschat rules, in a civil and friendly fashion. I think you have taken it the wrong way.

Shame there is no real news on the owner of the bear and photo. I find it hard to believe that if you lost such items, that you would not retrace your steps in an attempt to find them - you would surely have a fair idea that you left them at the airport. Seems odd.
