The ¤¤¤-delimited text is the proposal, named 'Lost & Found'.
The %%%-delimited text

¤¤¤

London Transport's Lost Property Office is placed near Baker Street.

A Player at Baker Street can perform the 42-minute Post-Move Action of
[Finding], but only between 0930 and 1400 on Mondays to Fridays.

The Player performing the [Finding] Action should roll a single 100-sided
die after submitting eir Turn. The next Player to take eir Turn should look
the number rolled up on the table below. The found item is then added to the
Luggage Rack or Token Table of the Finding Player.

*) If the Player already possesses the found item, nothing is found.
!) The Piano can only be moved using the [Walking] Action.

If a Possession is Lost, it is immediately transported to the Lost Property
Office.

The Actioning Player places the Possession in the Lost & Found Box on the
GSD. If there is no room in the box, e must remove one or more of the items
already in the box. Those items are Destroyed.

The Actioning Player may place items in the Lost & Found Box, if
-there is room in the box
and
-no Lost Possession is waiting to be placed in the box.

The Lost & Found Box is conceptually a queue, where items are added in the
back end and removed from the front end.
The Lost & Found Box begins empty:

+Lost & Found -----------------------------------------------------+
| |
+------------------------------------------------------------------+

<the L&F-box is to be added to the GSD>

<add to Action table>
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Action Phase Rule Dur Cost Gain
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Finding] Post x.x.x 42 -2 Br varies
</add to Action table>

Special issues:

If the 'Garment' category is not defined, it shall be deleted in the table.

If the Money Belt is no more, it shall be deleted in the table, and the roll
of 23 shall produce a pair of gloves.

I don't see a great danger in having undefined things floating around. If a
possession is undefined, the possessing Player will either discard it
(always an option), or make a proposal outlining the works of the
possession.

We don't have a way of Losing things, yet.
