What careless commuters leave on Tubes, buses and in the back of cabs

By Andy McCue, 4 December 2006 17:25

Transport for London's (TfL) lost property office covers two entire floors beneath Baker Street Tube station and stores any items left on the underground, on London's buses, in black cabs and on the Docklands Light Railway.

Ted Batchelor, customer service supervisor at TfL's lost property office, told silicon.com: "We can keep up to 40,000 items at one time."

Above are just some of the shelves housing travellers' lost gadgets.

    Why aren't TFL selling all these things off in an auction, they'd make money which could go into the TFL coffers, which they could then use to pay their managers more in salary bonus' for doing sweet FA, or maybe even use it towards improving infrastructure.... sorry that was stupid idea, stick to increasing the wages and giving out binus' idea.
