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?  :-)

  • Sorry to be late to this but my job is to deliver office changes so these are my favourite "finds": a stuffed beaver; a stuffed chicken (different organisation); a wedding album (and the couple were still married so they didn't mean to lose it); 7 pairs of size 8 stilettos (took a while and some discreet investigation for the male owner of them to claim them).  Plus - as a blast from the past - a fragile copy of a fax from Barings Bank
