Lost and Found

Luke 19:1-10


A woman was reported missing after she didn't return to the bus after a sightseeing tour at a volcanic canyon in Iceland. The driver waited an hour before notifying the police. Soon after the missing person's report, search and rescue teams and even a helicopter arrived to search for the missing woman. About 50 people also participated in the search on vehicles and by foot.

The other passengers didn't recognize her. Chief of police Sveinn K. Runarsson told reporters that the woman was innocent of the mistake.
