I stick my email-address on all valuables I could conceivably lose. Just last month the police sent me a message about a camera found in the road with my address on it. I'd been wondering for weeks where I misplaced it. It must have fallen off when I passed there with my bicycle.

The poor thing must have seen at least one bout of rain and a lot of sun judging by the ablated jacket. And it still works perfectly!

I assume your drivers license is in your wallet. You are concerned about anonymized email?

I imagine the bigger concern is that it's pretty easy to social engineer your way into most online accounts with an email and the info from a drivers license.

Even better - put a photo or even a drawing of your face on the note as well, to try and evoke some empathy from the finder, increasing the chances it'll be returned to you.

This! You never know.
