Here in Helpdesk we’re continually amazed by the number of lost property items that get handed in to us but never claimed. I guess that people just don’t know we have lost property…
Some items have sat in the drawer for several months now. We’ve got everything from MP3 players to pairs of spectacles. If you think you’ve lost something in the labs, please come and see us. We’re running out of room to put all these USB keys!
If you are coming to collect an item of lost property:
- We will ask to see your ID card to make sure we’re handing property back to the right person.
- If you’re collecting a USB pen drive or hard disk we will ask what is on the drive so that we can verify that it’s yours.
- You’ll need to give a reasonably accurate description of the item – just saying “it’s a USB key” doesn’t help us much.
