Im Pamela Nowak, I run Goldland Laundromat at 4561 Fawnland St in Aspenford. Phone 312-555-0102. Attended 7am to 9pm every day. Today is March 8. We hold stuff 30 days then donate whatever is left to a local charity. Stuff we have: mustard yellow Marmot PreCip rain jacket, size L, found in dryer 14 on March 3. Tag inside says Sato, Peggy Sato has a wash and fold account so I'll text her myself. Lilac Fjallraven Kanken backpack with a little felt owl keychain, left on folding table 2 on March 5, has a library book inside. Patrick Pearce called on the 7th asking if we found a lilac backpack for his daughter, I'll call him back. Also there is a phone someone left in washer 6 on March 6, I'm keeping it behind the counter. Want a sign for the front window and the messages.

Do you want to ask for ID when someone picks up an item, or only a description?

What it does

Use it when: Use when a laundromat needs a notice or message about lost and left-behind items, such as: write a lost and found sign, tell customers we found their stuff, someone left a jacket in the dryer, or post what we are holding.
