If you ever wondered what happened to the umbrella
you left in class one rainy day or that watch you misplaced,
maybe it's at UNL's Lost and Found Dept., now Ideated at
Campus Security headquarters.
According to Lt. Chester Parnham, officer in charge of'
lost and found, most items turned in remain unclaimed and
eventually are auctioned off or given to charity.
"We haven't donated anything to charity since the first
- tt- 9 . . .... . ..... r
OI me year, r as mimic vaiu, dttu it may ms ax. icast w way
before wa auction anything."
Until recently, insufficient storage space has been the
reason.
Before lost and found moved to Campus Security
headquarters it was located in the mail room at Nebraska
Hall.
Bob Cunning, postal service supervisor at Nebraska Hall,
said the lost articles took up too much space there.
Because storage space also is a problem for Campus
Security, most articles found are stored in Hide House, a
now defunct tannery located west of the headquarters. ,
Parnham noted, however, that articles are kept at
Campus Security headquarter for two weeks before
unclaimed items are moved to Hide House if not claimed.
"But things of any value, such as watches and rings are
kept in the vault at the security office," he said. "Anything
returnable, we try and get back to the owner."
Unclaimed valuables are cataloged and tagged, with onu
tag attached to the article while the other tag is placed in a
took for reference. A students then signs this book when
claiming a belonging.
Most articles turned in are odds and ends that just
collect dust in storage boxes, Parnham said.
A menagerie of books, glasses, carkeys and clothing art?
the most common items found. The most unusual item
turned in was a stray cat, Parnham said.
He cited one instance where a purse was found with the
owner's driver? !' ianse in it.
"We could. t tine her right away, as she had recently
moved and left t forwarding address," he said. "After
three days, ha &.as finally located and said she would be
right down."
Like many students, she has yet to come down to thr
Campus Security headquarters to claim her possessions.
Parnham suggested students call the headquarters first to
see if their lost articles have been turned in. He noted that
many buildings on campus don't sent things in right away.
He mentioned, one incident last year where a custodian
jrdnV"know where "to turn "in found 'Items. They wer
brought to Campus Security only recently.
"We're trying to get the building custodians to turn in at
regular intervals, preferably once a week, . he said.
