When Aunt Bee loses a valuable brooch, deputy Warren surmizes that the item was stolen. As a result of Warren's suspicions, Bee receives a huge insurance settlement. You guessed it-no sooner has the check arrived than Bee finds the missing brooch. "Lost and Found" was written by John L. Greene and Paul David. Given the amount of episode-shuffling during The Andy Griffith Show's sixth season, it is somewhat suprising that this episode, the 178th to be filmed, was also the 178th to be shown. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
