Back in August, South Western Railway took over for UK company South West Trains. In just the first six weeks, the company has collected over 10-thousand items passengers have left behind. There are plenty of coats, bags, and keys…but also a few stranger things.
Someone left behind an ironing board, while another person got off the train without their inflatable shark. A barrister's wig, which lawyers wear in court, false teeth and a leather chair were also found aboard South Western Railway trains.
The company keeps non-perishable items for three months in hopes its owner comes to pick them up. They’re also encouraging customers to check for their belongings before getting off the train.
