Officer James Burke said a variety of odd items show up at the police station, from keys and wallets that have lost their owners, to phones and iPods that have lost their listeners.
The police hold onto smaller items indefinitely if they are unable to immediately identify and contact the owner. Burke said some sets of keys have been in the station’s lost-and-found box for years.

But larger items, especially bicycles, are harder to keep because they take up space.
Burke said the police station is currently holding four bicycles that were found in the borough.

“We usually keep bicycles for about 60 days,” Burke said. “We just don’t have the storage space. If you’ve lost a bicycle, check with the police.”
