Missing and Lost notices are short texts written to look for missing people, lost animals, articles or other valuables. Found notices are written to inform others that certain lost animals, articles or valuables have been found. As short texts, they are simple in form and often informal or colloquial in language, always in the form of phrases but sincere in voice. They are mostly seen in the public places, sometimes at the lost and found office.
