ANAHEIM, April 10 (UPI) -- Visitors to Disneyland lose 40,000 hats and 20,000 pairs of glasses annually, but so far only one glass eyeball has been lost.
Disneyland retiree Kay McFaul recalls tracking down the eyeball that a woman lost on Main Street about 25 years ago.
"I ran out to the street-sweeper area and found the workers playing marbles with the eyeball," McFaul told the Orange County (Calif.) Register. "They didn't know it was a prosthetic."
Usually, the resort's employees know what they've found, whether it's a diamond engagement ring, a wallet or one of many cellphones or cameras that gets separated from their owners.
Betsy Chan tries to track down the owners, looking for information like home numbers on cellphones or bar codes on grocery store key tags to reunite lost items and owners, the Register reported.
She recommends tourists write their names and numbers on disposable cameras and input their home numbers into their mobile phones.
"It makes it so much easier to reunite guests with items, and that's the best part of this job," Chan told the Register.
