So I no longer work there but I worked 10+ years as Ops manager in international removals. Once a year we would do a stocktake on all the inbound freight locations, pull aside anything that was out of place and then try and find an owner, most of the items were returned to their owners. But every year there would also be a few items without any identification, I would set these aside myself in the warehouse and then the following year if still unclaimed I would take them home or throw it in the bin.
The best items are 3 x 1.5L bottles of Penfolds Grange & 50g bar of gold.
But other than that there are so many items, a limited edition Beatles Sargent Pepper's marble pressing with all the inserts intact. Few antique gold mirrors. Artwork. Media centre PC. Dining table and chairs. 2 Herman Miller office chairs, that's just the stuff I remember while looking around my house now
Ooh real gold?
I have it in my bucket list to own a small gold nugget!
Yeah real gold. I sold it for around $3200 at the time, I did have a look after I commented and it's worth just shy of $5100 today.. probably should have held onto it
Edit: AUD that is
