Facts about losses
|
People lose a lot, people find a lot, but very little lost property is returned to owners...  Paris The Service des Objets Trouves in Paris receives 900 items from all over the city every day - usually small objects belonging to commuters, such as mobile phones, umbrellas, glasses, hats and wallets. The office manages to return around 43,000 objects a year to their rightful owners. Source: BBCNews Website London London travellers lost more than four million suitcases while travelling abroad last year, according to an insurance survey. A survey found 20% of holidaymakers were reunited with their luggage while on holiday but a quarter of a million claim they have never found their bags. Soure: BBCNews Website Disneyland Disneyland's Lost and Found collects about 140,000 objects each year, most of them hats and sunglasses. Some quests are hopeless, such as trying to recover rolls of film. Now the burden is gadgets. Although the era of the baskets of beeping and shuddering pagers largely is past, Lost and Found collects about 300 cellphones a week, along with assortments of personal digital assistants and iPods.
