A: Our department is responsible for finding your lost items. If we can't find them, we'll just make up a story about how we did.
A: Don't worry, we'll put up a "Lost and Found" sign on the fridge, and if nobody claims it in a week, we'll just throw it away and say it was a "test item."
A: Ha! You think we're made of money, don't you? Sorry, no refunds. You can, however, get a participation trophy for being a good sport.
A: Just send an email to lost-and-found@bureaucracy.gov and we'll get back to you... eventually.
