Stellar bio you got here, Harry. Petty theft, vagrancy. Even pinched a couple of times for window shopping at the girl's dorm.

HARRY
I never hurt anybody.

TUTUOLA
So, why you taking souvenirs?

HARRY
Found them in the bushes. I was on my way to lost and found to turn them in.

Since when is lost and found in a dumpster?

I had to eat first.

TUTUOLA
Come again?

Breakfast leftovers, they get tossed by 11:00. Wanted to get my eats while they were still hot.

Spanish translation:iba a dejarlos en objetos perdidos

Explanation:
Objetos perdidos es lo más usado, a veces se puede recurrir a especificar si es una oficina, un servicio o un departamento.
Para no quitarle el toque conversacional bastaria con hacer referencia a objetos perdidos, y dejar implicito que es una oficina o un servicio que se ofrece. Te adjunto dos enlaces para que veas el uso en Mx y en España.
