If, for example, you happen to have lost your false teeth get in contact with these guys - best to go in person as they won't understand what your saying over the phone! You could even choose a new pair - chances are you would find something to
Many people though are lucky and grateful to have their items back, last year 27,000 handbags were handed in and 40% were returned. This guy was not so lucky as he was loading his mannequins onto a tube, the doors closed before he could get on board and he was left watching them disappear, never to be seen again. Where are they now?

Sorry to resurrect something from so long ago, but "Wheelchairs, now this puzzles me. If you lose your wheelchair how did you manage to get to where you were going without it?" really bothers me. Wheelchairs are assistive devices used by people with variously-abled bodies. Sure, many people are permanently dependent upon their wheelchairs for all of their mobility, but there are far more who need them only for certain activities or under certain conditions (e.g. individuals with MS or certain nerve or spinal injuries) such as travel. Also, public transit is notoriously unfriendly for disabled or variously-abled persons despite laws requiring public transit to be accessible to them. Often the allotted wheelchair spots are already taken or it is much simpler and less imposing upon other transit users for those who have the option of utilizing the non-wheelchair spaces by doing so and folding up their chair just like someone with a stroller would fold the stroller.
I have often wondered that myself DK. Another of lives mysteries I guess thanks for stopping by
