What Happens to the Thousands of Things People Leave Behind in Hotels?

• Phones.

• Chargers.

• Jewellery.

• Clothes.

• Keys.

• Documents.

• Children's toys.

Occasionally, things far stranger, most hotels have procedures for lost property.

• Someone finds it.

• Someone records it.

• Someone stores it.

Then there is the question nobody thinks about:

How long do you keep something that nobody comes back for?

A forgotten object can sit in a hotel long after the person who lost it has completely forgotten that they ever owned it, a hotel isn't just temporarily holding people's rooms, It's temporarily holding fragments of their lives.
