Ever wonder what the Lost & Found department at New York’s Grand Central Terminal must be like? Satisfy your curiousity with the NY Times’ peek into life at what must be one of the country’s busiest Lost and Found offices. There are drug “mules” who come in seeking their lost contraband only to meet their fate with the police. There are “shoppers” who claim they have lost umbrellas (on rainy days), sunglasses (on sunny days) or coats (on cold winter days). Prosthetic legs and arms (more legs than arms) are turned in. As you may expect, there are boxes of cell phones, beepers, and children’s toys. It’s a little slice of life in a gathering of the mundane items of everyday existence.
