[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids take a Saturday class at an elementary school in the NW corner of Arlington. Every week I am amazed how many Patagonia and North Face jackets are hanging in L&F. How many jackets do these kids have? I don’t always chase down every lost mitten, but [b]if my kid lost a winter coat or a fleece, I would notice[/b].

It’s not right for non-needy families to steal from L&F, but you never know the whole story and I would probably look the other way. I don’t believe most of the stuff that gets donated even gets to kids who need it. I have taken all kinds of nice kids clothes to Goodwill and I never see anything nice in my local Goodwill. Every time I am there I see people dropping off kids bikes and yet I’ve never seen a bike for sale - despite looking for several months. [/quote]

I used to be amazed at how many jackets piled up in lost & found, thinking "how could you not notice you lost a jacket?" until my kid lost a jacket.  It was one of those days where it was cold in the morning but warmed up a lot so jacket got worn in the morning, none in the afternoon.  I assumed it was shoved in the backpack and then disappeared into room at home. Since it was an unusually cold morning in a season of warm days, we didn't need that jacket for a long time.  It was a long time before we noticed.  Oops.  I assume that's how many things get to L&F.  [/quote]

I always notice this on fall or spring days that start off chilly and end up warm. Tons of jackets left at the playground because, by the time they leave, they forgot they even brought them.[/quote]
