The case of the disappearing contact

Hi,

I'm use Address Book in Mac OSX to store contacts. I use a Palm Treo 650 to sync (HotSync) these contacts and usually do so on a daily basis.

Today, when I was syncing the two, it took an inordinately long time and, being impatient, I disconnected the phone from the computer. The computer froze and I powered down the computer to restart. When the computer came back to life, however, all my contacts (1,000+) had disappeared except for the ones I had added this week.

Quite stupidly, I decided to resync again, thinking the contacts from my palm (which were still there) would be brought back to the computer. Unfortunately, all the contacts from the Palm were erased.

So I'm looking for some help. I don't have a backup of the contacts (another smart move on my part) and I'm wondering where they went and if there's a way to find them and reinstall them.

Thanks so much!
