Last evening, my wife and I found what is presumably a Guatemalan passport on the sidewalk of a main street.
It looks new, and it has an issue date of May 24, 2005 - last Tuesday - so it is VERY new. Another odd thing about it is that it has no entry stamp, or stamps of any kind, inside the passport. Hmmm.
I could call the cops, and I guess it would be handled properly, but I thought this might be an occasion to find out about the "new age" of immigration/homeland security, etc. and try another avenue. (Plus, I wondered if passports are supposed to have entry stamps in them)
I called USCIS (the new INS) and got a bunch of unrelated prompts which got me nowhere. Then I called Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who told me to call the USCIS local office, which said to call between 1 and 4 (it was about 3:00 then) - no answer. I then called the local FBI office, who gave me another number for the local USCIS office. This time I got to leave a message!
SO... what do you guys think? Should I just call the cops and be done with it (though I am curious, and would like my curiousity satisfied), or do you have some other avenue you think I should pursue?
