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?  :-)

  • Claire: Could the employee had too much stick at work so they have chopped the job in for a gap year to China? Oh come on ... this is as good as it gets on a Friday morning !!! 

     Elizabeth, this has got to be one of the best stories posted in this forum. 

     Helen, they left the kite behind as their job is blowing in a new direction. 

    Amandeep, Did you have to think outside the box how you dealt with the situation? 

    Thanks all for the contribution.
