"onecoldhand.com is a project that connects the Pittsburgh community through one unfortunate event - the loss of a glove. The website creates a method for dealing with the conundrum of finding these lost articles. Do you leave it and hope the owner comes back to find it? Do you pick it up? Throw it away? With onecoldhand.com, the abandoned object now becomes a symbol of benevolence and hope."

That's my glove!
No thats my glove! I lost it when Iwas running trying to get out of the rain and cold.
When you have successfully united all of the glove with their mates, would you please consider the lonely socks who have lost their partners in my laundry?
I just love this idea, it is beyond cute. When I read about it, I thought "Oh, there is a glimmer of hope that my glove is found." Of course, I'd lost my gloves over two years ago and I actually was upset by it.
Maybe, others do get upset when they lose their gloves but they didn't have a chance in hell of finding it...till now.
I'm no longer in the 'burgh and do miss it. Here on Long Island, the people just aren't the same.
I raise my glass to you, your efforts and to all Pittsburghers, especially my Shadyside friends!
Mark Fuhrman dropped it.
I love this idea! It's really awesome.
I read an article about a site like this being started in NYC, is it true? I lost so many gloves in NYC over the years. The glove industry must love me.
Looks like OJ's glove!
If the glove don't fit, you must acquit!
It is great that some one actually thinks of other peoples property enough to try and help these people be reunited with their lost property. Just a thought for you.
put a time limit like 6 months, and if the gloves are not claimed by someone at that point, gather all the gloves that are over that time limit and make some sort of wall art out of them. Put a frame on it and sell it on ebay. Use part of the money to contrubte to a charity that caters to kids that need clothes or blankets or something to that nature. In the past I have been involved in a group that collected used blankets and coats for people in need. It is such a great feeling to help thoses that need it.
Okay. Maybe because I didn't go to a college, ( I served in the Air Force, Aim High! ) but, it seems that a lot of these gloves are found around CMU. Doesn't the school teach you how to hold on to your gloves? Maybe it should be a pre-req to attend. And I thought I was the dumb one! I know where mine are, I think?!? If you got upset, vote DemocRAT in '08!!! ;)
There are gloves everywhere but, as a student at CMU, that's where I see them. Now that the site is taking off, hopefully we will get gloves from every neighborhood.
no, that's MY GLOVE!!! stay away!
