Lost toy
lost toy
Plural: lost toys
This appears to be a child's toy. It looks like it's been around for a while and is heavily used: the paint is scratched and faded, there's dried sand wedged in the wheel treads, and a couple of sets of initials are painted on the underside. Somewhere out there a sandbox is empty tonight.

Trying to return the item to yourself:
You start to return this lost item to yourself, but then you realize: this is not your beautiful house, this is not your beautiful lost item. By definition, if it's in your possession and it's lost, then it can't belong to you. Thus you can't return it to yourself, or it wouldn't be lost. Ergo, lost items must be returned to other people, who, by definition, are the only ones for whom this lost item might become found. Comprende?
