Actually, the cost of placing the ad (or even the phone calls to track down the nearest free paper) almost cetrainly outweigh the cost of developing the film. Unless it contained strongly identifiable images - recognisable people and especially a few frames identifying a home town then the chance of reuniting the two is small. If it is just mundane landscapes then it is probably not worth trying. And of course, there is the copyright question ... ;o) Bob
