Every day, heartwarming stories of loss and reunion unfold in every corner of the city. These seemingly ordinary lost and found incidents not only embody people's appreciation for their belongings but also reflect the kindness and responsibility between people. Lost items are beautiful things we've forgotten. There's a kind of "loss"—a kind of forgetting, whether intentional or unintentional. For various reasons, we gradually forget and discard things we once loved. Those things that once comforted us, brought us joy and happiness, are slowly forgotten and abandoned in some unknown corner. If they had life and feelings, they would also be hiding in that corner, secretly weeping.
Examples from New York and schools:
The New York City Lost and Found is a busy and important place. Losses during travel and oversights in daily life can all find their answers here. People often forget their items on airplanes, trains, buses, or taxis, and the Lost and Found is their place of hope for finding their lost items.
Hundreds of people receive these items every day, anxiously and expectantly searching for valuables such as phones, cameras, watches, and computers. According to statistics, we typically store approximately two thousand cell phones and one thousand cameras, awaiting their owners.

However, besides these common items, the Lost and Found often yields some unexpected discoveries. For example, right now, one hundred bicycles of various shapes and sizes and a large boat are waiting here. These special items add a touch of mystery to the Lost and Found.

Many animals have also made their home here. This week, three dogs, two ducks, and a pig have arrived. Whose pets are they? Or are they lost travelers? No one knows, but they also need our care and protection. In addition, fifteen kilograms of sausages are also waiting to be claimed. This is not just a place to find lost items, but a world full of stories and warmth.
