Another Park Sloper gets their lost photos back

via MYFOXNY.COM Stop me if you're heard this story before....

A Park Slope resident loses their photographs, which are recovered and returned via the collective power of social media. Sounds a bit like the amazing Todd Bieber incident, eh?

The déjà vu  incident occurred earlier this summer. In June, Park Slope couple Jim Tierney and Sara Wood got married in Pennsylvania. In a boneheaded move, the wedding photographer lost the camera memory card containing more than a hundred photos of the couple's special day.

David Ahrens's father found the memory card in Mount Laurel, New Jersey and handed it over to his tech-savvy son. After downloading the photos, David posted them to "Lost Wedding Pictures", a Facebook group he created to track down the couple. In 36 hours, David had 1,400 Facebook friends searching for the owners of the photographs.

A group member recognized the wedding location as Springton Manor in Chester County, Pa. David was able to track down the couple via an online engagement announcement. The newlyweds were grateful for the outreach and have vowed to make photographs of their first born a social media sensation as well.

According to the Burlington Times:

“Most people would have looked at the pictures and thought, ‘What a shame. We have no way of finding them,’ but the Ahrenses clearly did everything within their power to find us, and made sure that the photos found their way home,” Tierney wrote. “We are so thankful for that. From now on, I will always have this in my head whenever I come upon an opportunity to do the right thing, even if it requires going a few extra miles.”   

It's too bad David didn't get a trip to Europe out of this.
