Found - bag full of clothes

Found a white backpack full of clothes a few weeks ago on corner of Ashlone and Danemere.  Looked like it had been stolen and then thrown away as everything was strewn around.  Anyone recognise thus as theirs or have any ideas what to do with it?  Police not interested and don't really want to chuck it!  Thanjs

A similar thing happened to me last year.  I found a load of personal belongings, including letters with personal details on.  I phoned the police in case it was stolen but never heard anything. I tried phoning several times the person in the details, by getting their number from directory enquiries.  no answer.  I decided in the end that maybe it was someone throwing their rubbish away and took it to the tip to make sure it was disposed of.

Thanks.  It's silly as the stuff is quite nice and I'm sure someone is missing it...

The thing is, stuff we wouldn’t throw out like that, others might just dump it.  they might have moved away.  Anyway good luck trying to trace the owner.

I keep seeing random bags of stuff all over my area, just assume it's a sort of fly tipping.

Why not put an enquiry on NextDoor. Its reach is more local.
