5. Two human skulls in a bag
In 2005, London officials found a bag containing two human skulls. Police were alarmed at the grisly find but the skulls turned out to belong, quite legitimately, to an university professor who used them in lectures.
4. Urn of ashes
An 80-year-old man was reunited with his brother’s ashes five years after the cremation. Following the funeral in Germany, he’d been mugged at Heathrow, and with his stolen suitcase went the precious urn which the muggers abandoned. When the LPO received the urn, all it had to work on was a tiny reference to a German crematorium. Staff wrote a letter, got it translated and started up a long-distance correspondence. When the urn was finally returned, the man said it had been the perfect send-off for his maverick brother.
3. Breast implants
A courier once left a pair of breast implants on the Circle Line while heading to a Harley Street clinic in London. They were claimed back at the London Underground lost property and are now walking around somewhere, their owner unaware of how well-travelled her chest is.
2. Samurai Sword
What kind of person goes around carrying swords under public transportation? Even worse, what kind of person forgets it in the subway? This Samurai Sword was among the items found at a subway station in London and taken to the Transport For London lost property office.
1. Wedding dress
Luckily the person who found this Peruvian wedding dress returned it to the London Underground lost property. The owner was brought down to tears when she was reunited with her wedding dress, just purchased in Peru.
