Most unusual item found?

Hi all, part of my morning has been spent clearing out the office where I am currently based in anticipation of a pending office move and I have been sitting at a desk where various individuals have come and departed, leaving behind an array of personal and work items.  I'm sure many other colleagues have done the same or had to clear out the workspace for individuals who have been escorted from the workplace or perhaps threw their toys out of the pram and refused to return.  And this got me thinking ...  the items I have come across today have not been particularly noteworthy - a broken necklace, memory sticks, pain relief, software disks, sunglasses - however one item caught my eye: a pair of chop sticks although I can't work out why they would be in an office ...


So, if you have been tasked with a similar clear out please do share your experiences of what prompted the clear out, any unusual items found and perhaps if (and how) you reunited them with their owner?  :-)

  • Two dresses, mortgage statements, coats, kite, beachball, children's books, hair braiding set and endless pairs of shoes...

    Oh and a stack of one workers team attendance sheets that were signed off by his manager.  The manager had repeatedly reported him for not submitting his attendance sheets to her stating she had never had any from him.   They were all dated and signed off by the Line Manager and stashed away.   Sadly the employee had been the receiver of disciplinary procedures (he left before the outcome) both he and the line manager have long left and they were found in the back of a cupboard after the managers departure.
