Lost and not claimed, lots of mobility aids at the 2010 Winter Olympics

A bizarre report in the Times-Colonist (online, February 20, 2010; hardcopy, February 21, 2010) that lots of mobility aids, including artificial limbs, have been left behind by 2010 Winter Olympics visitors using Greater Vancouver's public transit system operated by Translink.

As Todd Coyne wrote,

TransLink’s lost property storage centre has a whole area devoted to the dozens of crutches, canes, walkers and artificial limbs left by those who apparently boarded transit needing mobility aids and then somehow waltzed off without them.


If you've recently been part of the Olympic crowds in the Lower Mainland and can't find something you might have left behind on the Translink system, here's their Lost and Found contact information.
