I think the most interesting thing we found was wet underwear after a thunderstorm. I guess my location must be boring or something.

One time I got a call to look for somebody's ear (fake of course). I thought that was weird but I didn't find it. I forget what year that was though.

I watched a ride host nearly get hit in the head with a cell phone on Power Tower. He was a complete dick about loose articles from then on.
Not really an item, but I found people doing some nasty things in the queues of disaster transport, there is one side hallway that's dark... use your imagination, lets just say there was 2 guys, one girl and no clothes. Oh and someone getting road head on cad cars.
As for articles, crack pipes, knives, we usually kept those, a money clip with 800 bucks in it, didn't keep that. A weave.
OH best one, we had a jacket get stuck halfway up the tower on a cross-beam for the track! That was funny as hell, aparently mr. DEE DEE DEE decided to put it under his seat as it went up the tower, and it fell out the back and got stuck on the tower. That was great.

i did get hit by a falling cell phone. people should learn to secure all loose articles. really. i don't want to get injured waiting in line. i didn't get injured but still i wouldn't want to.

I have been hit by cell phones, cameras, and a wallet while working under the Magnum.
Not a fun experience. I always thought it was funny that they give the ride crew hard hats, when they go under the ride to pick up lost articles, but for the Go-Kart workers (who are right under the ride also) we have to stand there in the open, with only our hats as protection.
Oh well.
We always found lots of fun things...
I'll always remember being asked "Did you buttpick the weave?"
I loved playing in the sand in the lowzones looking for peoples cell phones and such. Which were usually absolutely demolished.
The best thing that i ever found was on a trackwalk at magnum...I found three helium balloons in the pretzel. I brought them back and gave them to people on my crew hehe. I also found some wine in a aquafina bottle on our platform...they could have at least put it in something other than a clear bottle haha
Wine in a clear plastic bottle. What will they think of next?

I will now return to my duties as a garbage man.

When I worked at Coasters restaurant I found an odd thing...someone managed to stuff a whole cheeseburger inside one of the jukeboxes on the table. Still to this day I have not a clue how they got it in there, unless they worked somewhere else that has jukeboxes and had a key! Carol sure loved coming over to clean that one out! haha
In 2003 we came up with a new Radio code. Signal 69. 2 employees having some *fun* in the restrooms back in Frontier town!

Did you people just go looking through everything on people's phones when you find them? I've heard of bad pictures before too. Personally I never had a phone turned in, but we did get a few digital cameras. I never even turned them on, just call lost & found for a valuable item pickup. I don't like to stick my nose into other people's business.

If you find dig cameras or video cell phones you need to turn them on because it makes it easy to return to the right owner I know at raptor we would ask people to descripe the pic on the inside of the phone because you would get alot of phones that are the same and if people see that a camera was droped whats to stop them from saying that's not there camera but friends or family on the camera makes it easy.
