A very big Lost and Found Office is at Baker Street in London. Do you know how many things there are in the office now? About 250,000!
You can see all kinds of things there. Most of them are common (普通的) things like books, bags, clothes and keys. But some are dear things like phones, laptops (笔记本电脑) and watches.
Where do so many things come from? People often find them on trains, on buses and in taxis. The office marks (作标记) them with different colors. Red is for the things from a taxi, white is for the things from a bus and yellow is for the things from a train.
How many of the things can go to their owners (主人)? Many of the things are there for a long time, but no one comes to get them. If the office can’t find the owner of a thing in three months (月), they will give it to a charity (慈善机构) to help more people.
