I offered to buy it but the lot guys said I could have it. I tried to trace the address through the van's Texas plate, but how do you track an address of a homeless guy?

A friend of mine had some pull with the Red Cross and somehow through them they found the guy and returned his photos.

And yes, he was happy to see them. He didn't really care about the van, but he did miss that photo album.
