Lost and found

Coco Warner reports

      Right now, the lost and found center has received nearly 6,500 lost items from the different Olympic venues.
      News Specialist Coco Warner tells us about her own search for a lost black scarf.

      You could call it a lost and found department of Olympic proportions. Every day, the boxes arrive.
      "Seven-hundred fifty to 1,000 items we're receiving a day, and that doesn't include the items that are on a venue level," says lost and found manager Anita Corbett.
      For Olympic volunteer Andrew Rutter, it was his wallet.
      "I checked around and it was just like, 'Great. I don't have my wallet.' I'm like, 'Well, unless it's under a foot of snow, somebody will turn it in," Rutter says.
      The number one item that people tend to forget?
      "We have probably 1,500 gloves here so far."
      The first thing we had to do — search the database for any missing items that matched the venue I lost it in.
      After every Olympic event, volunteers sweep through the area, bag any lost items and send them to the center.
      So we head down to what they call the vault.
      But we struck out on finding the lost scarf.
      The center will remain open and continue to try to reunite spectators with their lost items until early this summer.
      "We want them to remember the good times while they were here at the Olympics, and not that they lost something."
      So what happens to the lost items after that? No one's really sure. Maybe some charity will receive a large donation of gloves and one black scarf.
      Here's some general information about the Lost and Found Center.
      It's located at 615 South and 200 East.
      The center is open seven days a week through the Olympics, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. And once the Olympics end, it'll remain open on Saturdays through June 30th.
