The mystery of Jean-Pierre and his lost photographer

This artful plea has been posted in NW5 car window for weeks, but the riddle doesn't seem to have been solved yet

Those who make regular passage down Grafton Road will most likely have noticed this artful note, currently displayed in the window of a small, parked Honda.

It would seem that one Jean Pierre had his portrait snapped by a ‘beautiful young woman’ on her way to a photography job at nearby Spring Studios. He then carelessly lost her details, but is very keen to see her again.

The flower-bearing rodent hints at a potential romantic motive, however he might just be after a copy of the pro snap to make a new profile shot for his Facebook – who knows?

We’d like to think there is a potentially movie-worthy tale of crossed paths, unspoken chemistry and shared fleeting moments in the making here, but as the public request remains in situ on the car windscreen for what is rapidly approaching the two-month mark (according to the dates given), perhaps this story has no ending, happy or otherwise.
