What's in Lost and Found?
When a room contains a handcuff key, a "Ski Naked" License plate, and some abandoned sneakers and sweatshirts, you have to wonder what's going on.
This is what you will see in the lost and found located right next to George Hacking's office in Public Safety.
"This is supposed to be the central place on campus for items that have been lost," said Hacking.
However, Hacking says other places that items are sometimes returned to include: Sue Henry's office, Kathy Armstrong's office, the library, and residence halls that they were found in. Most of it eventually makes its way to the Public Safety lost and found.
Hacking says that books are the most commonly turned in items, and also the most common to be left behind.
"I don't know why," said Hacking "because those are very expensive."
Other things that commonly get turned in at this lost and found are keys, thumb drives, backpacks, ID's, and clothing.
"If it is something with somebody's name on it, we send them an e-mail letting them know it's here," said Hacking.
Occasionally, something with a high value, such as a laptop or an iPod, will get turned in to the lost and found. While these items are never left unclaimed by students, other items are.
At the end of the year, things that have not been picked up are discarded. Clothes are given to Bob McCabe to be donated, keys are thrown out, ID's and thumb drives are destroyed, and books are recycled in the book recycle boxes on campus.
