Lost keys, missing hunter

My colleague over in sports, Outdoors Writer Candus Thomson, sent me this gem from a different sort of police log:

On Sunday Nov. 1, 2009,  a Sparrows Point, Md man was rescued after becoming lost off Marumsco Rd. in Somerset County. Ronald Andrew Mesaris, 49 of Sparrows Point, Md went into the woods about 8 P.M. on October 31  to look for keys he had lost while hunting earlier in the day. When he didn't return by 1 a.m. his hunting party reported him missing to the Maryland State Police who called Maryland Natural Resources Police for assistance. Officers from both agencies as well as a State Police bloodhound and volunteers from the Marion Station Volunteer Fire Company, took part in the search. Natural Resources Police officers located the man nearly a mile back in the woods. Mesaris was cold and wet but otherwise unharmed.
