€440m worth of items lost every year

Irish people lose €440m worth of belongings every year, with items most frequently being lost between 2pm and 6pm on Saturdays in December.

The transition from work to weekend and the combination of Saturday lunches, Christmas shopping, and Christmas celebrations creates an annual Bermuda triangle into which people’s belongings mysteriously disappear, according to a survey by mozy.ie

Nearly as many items going missing on Fridays and Saturdays as the rest of the week put together, the survey found.
