I was tidying up my desk drawers the other day and came across all the unclaimed items I'd confiscated over the year. These were: a mirror, three marbles, some lipgloss, a picture of Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina, a phone top-up card (you'd think someone would want that back), a lump of metal, some water bombs (unfilled), twelve pence and the potential for a reference to the penultimate episode of the last series of Doctor Who.

Unfortunately they don't forget about things like phones and MP3 players. Pity.
