#12Is there a search engine for that?
You should be able to search all Government surveillance cams for your own history.

#13Fascinating. Using Missed Connections as a platform to set a context. It could be fictitious, but it's more than achieved its goal for everyone but the intended recipient.
can I ask : What is "Craigslist and these Missed Connections"

#15Thanks for sharing! I didn't expect this to be a real post given the title, but it was a great read.

#16I think a lot of people miss the point of this posting -- it doesn't matter if it's real or if it's fake, but rather it's an evolution of artistic expression. Someone is using Craigslist as an entirely new medium for writing a bit of poetry or short story. The potential for this type of work to reach people is huge, and that to me is the most exciting part of it all.

#18Could be summarized as "I murdered some people and felt guilty, then I flirted with a beautiful woman which saved me from suicide, then I forgave myself for my crimes, now I'm lonely so I want to meet that woman again."
I don't have any sympathy for this man who's had just about the best possible life he could have, given what he did.
I'll bet there are plenty of prisoners serving life for murder who would also like to meet some old flame but don't have the freedom to post on Craigslist.

Craigslist is a site where people can post classified ads for free in their local geographical area (e.g. city/metro area), similar to the old classified section of a newspaper. It also has a personals section. Part of the personals section is a "missed connections" area where people can post about an experience they had with someone where it felt like they should have exchanged contact information and kept in touch but missed the opportunity. If the other party of the missed connection happens to feel strongly and has the same idea to go to the missed connections area for the local craigslist site and if they happen to see the post from the other person they would recognize the description of their encounter and have the chance to get in touch.
