    My brother-in-law didn’t want to carry his jacket around at Disney World, and he didn’t want to get a locker for it, so he had his dad turn it in to lost and found. At the end of the day, before leaving the park, he picked it back up.

      Somebody else could’ve taken that.

      The lost and found at my school sometimes gathers interest on some items. Umbrella on a rainy day got 4 people claiming it’s theirs. But a golden chain is still winning at 8 people claiming it as theirs.

        That’s why you hide the item and get the person claiming it’s theirs to tell you a piece of identifying information about the item so they can prove it’s theirs.

            That’s a different problem entirely, your school needs to rethink things. Kind of funny though!

              Why does the school need to rethink things?
              It’s in their interest to get rid of the items quickly so they don’t have to store them.
              Who gets them doesn’t matter to the school.
