1  All across the Great Western territory / Introductions and chat / Hello. I found a pen in Temple Meads... on: April 09, 2013, 15:34:44
Hello,
On a recent journey through Temple Meads I picked up a shiny thing from the floor. It turned out to be a pen.
Sometime later I thought, "that pen was quite shiny, I wonder if it's valuable". It was. Definitely the sort of money you should be spending on a laptop rather than a pen...

Now, I don't often travel through Temple Meads (or generally by train) so I can't easily hand it in to Lost Property. And I have a feeling that if I phone up and say "I found a pen on the floor" the next thing I hear will be the click of a disconnection. And, if it's not claimed for 12 weeks, they "dispose" of it, which would be a shame.

I have a feeling that the owner is either so rich, they don't care or very upset that they lost a family heirloom. (I'm thinking rich, it's slightly damaged and in need of a clean although the damage could be from kicking round on the floor)

Has anyone any good ideas about how to restore the pen to it's owner?

Max
