What would you do Ethical Question

I ask the members of this forum as you usually get either good advice OR 50/50 advice & then are more confused LOL!

I recentlly got a bunch of junk at an auction. Mixed in with the junk was personal pictures & a few momentos. Mostly a woman ( NO Porn) including wedding photos & a kid. Pics range from teen years to 30s-40s.

There was enough info that I somewhat was able to find out a general location.

Would you try to return the pics & if so How.

Mail, Drop them at last known address etc etc

Of course first thing is Yes Return them its nice & the right thing to do, However If I do try return the pics

1 If I am not 100% sure the address is correct I could be sending it to another stranger

2 What if the woman passed?

3 What if she didnt want the pics & then it open up old wounds?

I Really could use advice. Returning them to the auction place is a no go as it would get tossed. Lots of storage bin type consigners so they wouldnt be interested in tracking down someone for pics.

My biggest fear is opening up old wounds for a stranger.

Thanks Blowout!
