You could make some serious money with this power. You could find anyone's lost pet or keepsake.
You could also find missing people. This one has serious potential for good. Realistically, though, the CIA (or your country's equivalent) would take you into custody and force you to do their bidding.
Not to mention the regular occurances of people asking you to locate something they've stuck inside themselves.
Oh shit. Didn’t think of that angle. But it’s okay, they’ll never recognize me because I’ll wear glasses while not using my power and take them off when I go all super and shit. That’ll work!
Can't you just think of the winning lottery ticket?
I guess but I would still use it to find missing pets and stuff. Other people are talking about finding missing people but imo that's more tricky. Finding 1 missing person is just luck but if you are some how finding 10 or 20 people you are going to be lopked into.
