Every day hundreds of items including phones, bikes, toys, glasses, household appliances and even prosthetic limbs are left on Sydney trains. The forgotten goods amount to about 50,000 lost property items each year. Tens of thousands of the forgotten items will this year be donated to charity and passed on to families in need. A partnership between Sydney Trains and Aboriginal social enterprise Muru Mittigar will gift the unclaimed items to community organisations across NSW.
But toys, sunglasses and umbrellas are also left behind as well as appliances such as rice cookers, electric frying pans, sandwich presses and even SodaStream machines. “It’s not uncommon for us to receive about 30 to 40 mobile phones and upwards of 14 sets of wireless headphones a day,”Clark said. “On a rainy day we are likely to find more than 50 umbrellas.” Around 4000 pairs of glasses were donated to the Rotary Lions organisation in 2023.
