"Stolen" postcards from Hungary, India, Italy & Malta!

None of these cards have my name on the address lines, in other words, they don't really belong to me. But still I own them now. Here are the cards and the story's behind them:

These two cards from Malta and Rome are from my brother's childhood friend. When I started collecting postcards half a decade ago, I found my family's small postcard collections and these two among them. After asking for a permission (not from my brother though), these postcards became part of my collections :)

These two cards have little different backgrounds. The card from India, which has appeared in this blog before, is from my mother's workplace. The card was sent by some colleague. When I noticed this card on her workplace, pinned on a notice board alone, without any other cards around, I decided to adopt it (with a permission). Besides, I wanted another card from India...

The card from Budapest has a whole different story. This card was found in a library by my brother-in-law. It was apparently used as a bookmark. It was a blank card: no address, no message, no stamp. He urged me to take it and I did. No permission asked this time :D 

PS. If the real owners of these cards are reading this and want their cards back, just ask and I will return them ;)
