Some people really misunderstand stuff like this, they don't get technology and will think you hacked them or something and not appreciate if you tell them this is possible and to be more careful. It's not worth it.

I hope she backed them up if she cared about them, and just didn't realize the reseting the phone doesn't delete the sd card contents. That's unfortunate because it's one thing that's been at the back of my mind for a while now.

She doesn't seem like a dumb lady. The merchandise photos are set up nice and there are pages of books.

She doesn't seem technical though

I'll give it one bump I guess.

holy.
yes, of course write her a cordial but businesslike email and explain yourself and ask her if she wants them back or deleted. this is the only objectively morally acceptable and good thing to do.
the only question that arises is why just now?
you bought the phone in 2018, thats almost a decade ago. and you just now, coincidentally, remembered you have a conscience?
you better manufacture a foolproof and believable alibi story if you want to rectify this entanglement.
else, well, idk. as others said she could get that the otherway and think you hacked her. on the otherhand, how are you going to deliver her the sd card, the data? are you going to meetup over coffee and laugh it all off together?

The phone was new in 2018 when she bought it. Maybe it wasn't her main phone because it's a niche one. I bought it in 2022. I thought about contacting her then, but I put it off. I'm wanting to put a custom rom on the phone so it reminded me of it again.

And yeah if she does want it, that's a bit of a hassle figuring out how I'll move it. She is in another state quite far away.

Drop the card in the mail with a short note. Leave no return address. Done. You’re overthinking this whole thing.

Don't know her address. It's a business that goes to street markets.

This pic looks like a modern ambient-drone album from Celer titled: "Latent Pleasantries"

Goes hard.

I must admit I didn't expect anyone to zoom in on the bearded man.

I don't know. There's something about this photo that reminded me of Rags of Contentment. It feels accidentally artistic and compelling.

Anyway, i think you should contact her and ask if she wants the contents inside that card. These are memories. And for an old lady, that's very valuable.

If you can get in touch, I'd at least offer to return it assuming you're just being a good Samaritan. I found a Galaxy S3 at the beach once, it was obviously toast but the SD card still worked and had photos. I actually found a relative of the owner through those pictures and tried to contact them but never got a response.

Chances are you care about this more than her

She sold it, if those photos mattered she would have likely saved it on her pc.

Would be a different story if it was some lost item you found. Just delete it. And please don't use the info on the pics to trace her to her adresses. Ceeepy stuff

That's why I've just left it as is the past 4 years. Not a pressing matter for me, but I don't know if it's worth escalating. But I will have trouble deleting them without her permission. So it just stays there, a stranger's digital possessions. I'm not interested in stalking her address. I would just say I saw the business card photos if I DM her.
