I have found the owner of that there brolly - it's sleeperwaking and she is going to contact you when she has finished her exams in a couple of weeks.

Ooh, well done. (Though I thought tracking her down was atreic's job. Did she delegate to you, or did you do this entirely proactively as a totally above-the-call-of-duty response to me happening to mention it to you in the street?)

I saw your comment on atreic's journal, then remembered I had seen her with fiona_kitty at the Beer Festival on Friday, so I asked Fiona who she was :)

Fair enough. Well, atreic probably owes you a drink then, although it might be a little inconvenient to collect :-)

Hmm. It now occurs to me that it's been more than a month since you said that, and she never did. Do you happen to know if the address on her LJ is a sensible way to get in touch with her, or indeed if she's still even in the right town to have her brolly returned?

No I don't; you could try giving her a poke on LJ and an email, then if she doesn't reply you end up with a free brolly :)
