\"Lost<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Inevitably when you travel things get lost.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That is why it is always a good idea to pack smart<\/a>, pack light<\/a> and avoid bringing anything irreplaceable. But even with that good measure forgetting an umbrella, jacket or cellphone on a train is still a bummer. Thank goodness for the old Lost & Found department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weekend following Thanksgiving in the US is the peak time for one particular Lost & Found department<\/a> servicing Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be picturing a box labeled \u2018Lost & Found\u2019 sitting inside an office somewhere. That couldn\u2019t be further from reality. Metro-North Railroad\u2019s Lost & Found<\/a> is a facility<\/em> with 100-200 items arriving every day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get a glimpse into the organization, attention, and care that goes into collecting these items and reuniting them with their owners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
