Weirdest object I ever found in a book shop.
During my time as a bookshop owner many things were left behind by customers including credit cars. spectacles, purchases, goods from other shops, wallets, driving licences, children's toys , foos and drink, hats to name but a few . However in July 2007 while checking out the shelves on morning I found a some ladies underwear namely blue panties lying there.
To this day I have no idea how or why they were left there.

A horse. A python. Prosthetic limbs. Glass eyes. Funerary urn containing cremated human remains. Anatomical (real) human skeleton....some of the items processed by the London Underground Lost Property Office at Baker Street.
My strangest Lost Property incident:
Radio shout from a Train Op requesting assistance with unattended luggage/suspected bomb in a carriage on platform 2. Item proved to be a large red holdall. Not typical of suspect devices, so I took the decision to tentatively ease open the zip fastener. First thing I see is a female breast, which closer examination revealed to be one of a pair of falsies. Other contents of the red holdall proved to be:
Pair of red plastic knee-high high-heeled women's boots.
Diamante earrings.
Skimpy sequinned gown.
Stage make-up.
...yep: the stage outfit of a drag queen?/supplier of specialised sexual services?, which items were duely tabulated, tagged and booked in as Lost Property.
A couple of hours later, a guy turns up asking whether a red holdall has been handed in.
ME: "Possibly, sir. Could you describe the contents...?"
