Recent data obtained via Freedom of Information requests details the recovery of adult aids and other miscellaneous items by Transport for London (TfL).

最近透過資訊自由申請而獲取的數據，詳細列出倫敦交通局 (TfL) 尋獲的成人輔助用品及其他雜項物品。

Statistical evidence indicates a longitudinal increase in the recovery of adult aids, with 26 items catalogued in the most recent annual period, compared to 20 in the preceding year. Historical data reveals a nadir of 12 items in 2020, a phenomenon likely attributable to pandemic-related mobility restrictions, following a 2019 figure of 23. Spatial distribution analysis identifies Shenfield station on the Elizabeth Line as the primary site of recovery, with four items located there; secondary concentrations were observed at Euston and Embankment stations, as well as the Tolworth and Tottenham bus depots.

統計數據顯示，尋獲的成人輔助用品呈長期增長趨勢，最近一個年度記錄了 26 件，而前一年為 20 件。歷史數據顯示 2020 年為最低點，僅 12 件，此現象可能歸因於疫情相關的行動限制，而 2019 年的數字為 23 件。空間分佈分析發現，伊利莎白線的 Shenfield 站為主要尋獲地點，該處發現 4 件；其次分佈於 Euston 和 Embankment 站，以及 Tolworth 和 Tottenham 的公車車庫。

Regarding the modality of recovery, the majority of these articles (21) were located within larger containers, whereas five were discovered in isolation. The reclamation rate for these specific items remains low, with only six of the 26 returning to their owners. This trend is mirrored in other high-value categories; for instance, only 141 of 5,600 pieces of jewellery were reclaimed in 2025. Conversely, mobile telephony exhibits a significantly higher reclamation coefficient of 37.2%.

關於尋獲方式，大部分物品 (21 件) 是在較大的容器內發現，而 5 件則是單獨出現。這類特定物品的領回率仍然較低，26 件中僅 6 件返回原主手中。此趨勢在其他高價值類別中亦有所體現；例如 2025 年 5,600 件珠寶中僅 141 件被領回。相反，行動電話的領回率顯著較高，達 37.2%。

Institutional operations are centralized at the West Ham facility, which transitioned from Baker Street in 2023. The facility manages an annual volume exceeding 200,000 items. Administrative protocols dictate that items possessing identifiable markers are subject to owner notification, contingent upon the payment of an administrative fee. Should items such as apparel or literature remain unclaimed for a duration of three months, they are liquidated via auction or donated to charitable organizations to offset operational expenditures.

機構運作集中於 West Ham 設施，該設施於 2023 年從 Baker Street 遷移而來。該設施每年處理超過 20 萬件物品。行政方案規定，具有辨識標記的物品將通知原主，但需支付行政費用。若衣物或書籍等物品在三個月內無人領取，將透過拍賣清算或捐贈給慈善機構，以抵銷運作開支。

TfL continues to manage a vast array of lost property, with a noted upward trend in the recovery of adult aids and varying reclamation rates across different item categories.

TfL 繼續管理大量失物，其中成人輔助用品的尋獲量呈上升趨勢，且不同類別物品的領回率有所差異。
