Isn't it a nice system?
Lost items are often returned to their owners in Japan.
I just lost my cell phone a few days ago, duh, it's gone!
I called my phone, but the number was suspended already.
Someone took it.
Lost items are rarely returned to their owners in any other country outside of Japan.
So, how does the system work in Jpn?
The item with the highest return rate -- 75 percent -- is the cellphone, which has flooded the center in the last three years. Owners typically call their own phones, or the center traces the owners through their subscription and sends a notification postcard.
