    Hi all. I was wondering if anyone knows if the owners of these clothes banks have a lost and found section? Think I left something in the pocket of a garment a while ago.
    Thanks in adavance.

    Was it cash by any chance?
    I'm sure if you call them they'll reimburse you:D

    The roma and travellers ya sometimes see climbing in and out of them probably have it. Ask them about it if you see them out begging. They all know each other anyway.

    I think you might aswell give up the search if it was in any way valuable. Some of these are owned by rather shady enterprises, not necessiarily the charitable type.

    Not all of them are destined for Poland.

    OP you will need to remember which charity was named on the bin or even the colour of bin you put the clothes in, and then try to contact the agent. If you can't remember the charity, most of the agents will be able to identify the charity for you from the colour of the bin. Even then it is a long shot.

    Fashion a hook from a fork, bending the prongs in opposite directions, and bending the handle so you can attach a string. You'll be able to fish out the clothes and might find your missing property.

    Preferably a small child you dont really like.
    That way, if you cant get them back out, you can walk away whistling nonchalantly and pretend it never happend.
