Who hasn’t lost something in their life? All of us, at some time or another, have had that feeling of panic when we realize we’ve misplaced something. We retrace our steps, look in every nook and cranny (including the couch cushions) and sometimes decide it must have sprouted legs and walked away.
Often times, we find the lost item right where it was supposed to be. Other times, however, it ends up in the land of lost. Nearly all businesses have a box, bin or tub of some fashion, dedicated as the “Lost and Found.”
Lost and found bins typically contain quite an eclectic mix of items. They always seem to hold a few items that make you scratch your head and say, “How did someone lose that?!”
While we can’t answer that question for you, we can let you know which items to keep an extra eye on. That is, after doing some research online (and in lost and found bins around town) we’ve discovered the five most common items in a lost and found bin:
- Keys
- USB Flash Drives
- Mobile Phones
- Sunglasses
- Gloves
So what can we learn from this? Well first, it’s that we need to keep better tabs on these five items. And second, we know that we’re not alone. Apparently everyone has problems keeping track of their keys, cell phone, sunglasses, etc.
Have you ever lost any of these items? Or have you lost something more valuable? Tell us your stories in the comment section below!

My husband lost his keys 11 days ago! My mother loses items, and then finds them in a jacket that’s just hanging in the closet, and she rarely wears it. I lost our Will, that just was made 2 months ago; but I still think we never did receive it in the mail. It’s NOT worth the hassle and aggravation though, that’s true! Just replace them…..
