Found over at Page and Divisadero, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark uses antiquated means of finding a lost pair of eyeglasses. (The phone number handwritten on the ad matches the business card posted at the bottom, which was confirmed as Newmark's.)

Oh, the irony!

Anyway, they're brown Okio glasses with turquoise undertones and a heavy prescription. Have you seen these specs? Shoot us an email, or check out the CL ad, and we'll connect you accordingly.

Or how about the part about his bag getting stolen at a yoga studio? Thieves are getting savvy these days.

The Chronicle classifieds department stole those glasses out of spite.

"Turquoise undertones"? Did he post this on behalf of his mom?

why all the secrecy? he posted his phone number on a public street corner, so he obviously doesn't care if its out there... why blur it and then make people email before "connecting them"

Yoga douche already tore that down. Move further down haight if you want craig's number.

hey, nosoyjipi...does "yoga douche" refer to the guy who runs the yoga place by Little Chihuahua? Please say "yes."

Turquoise?
I'd understand if he said tortoise, but really, Craig? Really?
