The floor is open: What do you offer “As a reward” in your Moleskine? Update: This idea was unintentionally stolen wholesale from the fine folks at Moleskinerie. I apologize for the oversight, and ask that you kindly also visit their posts, How much is your Moleskine worth? and Care and Feeding. 31 Comments

You can always just threathen people too in the reward section ‘your cat will be dead tomorrow if you dont return this to me as im psychic’. »

A threat, eh? I like the cut of your jib, John. I’m thinking some kind of extremely vague suggestion of a sexual favor written in balloony handwriting with heart-dotted “i’s” might also do the trick. »

Something with cuddling. My Little Pony or Carebears drawings might put anyone off-track too, hahaha. »

$10 Amazon or iTunes gift certificate, money to cover postage…and my eternal gratitude. I’m hoping the last part of that is the clincher. »

Half of a twenty dollar bill, promising the other half if they return it. You can make the cut all fancy with craft craft scissors. »

$30, plus the entire contents of the accordion folder (usually it’s just hilarious stuff like a yo! mtv raps tone loc trading card, stupid fortune cookie fortunes, etc), a few ironic bumper stickers, and a thank you letter written in crayon. thankfully i have not had to exercise this retrieval scheme. »
