Has anyone ever recovered funds sent to the wrong address by going to this forum and asking whose address it was? It seems like a long shot, hope you manage to recover thought.

Yes, with a fair amount of blockchain sleuthing, 400 BTC sent to the wrong address was recovered (ended up at GLBSE).

400 BTC sent to an unknow address. (COINS RETURNED) 40 BTC reward.

Wow, that is a good read. That is like putting up a sign saying "Lost paper bag with $4000 in it, please return" and someone returning it. I guess maricles do happen.
