  • Tucked away in the labyrinth of Penn Station is a window you won’t notice until you need it. Behind it there are tequila bottles, laptops, electric guitars, and a drone. There are Louis Vuitton bags, romance novels, and hundreds of cellphones. Nothing behind the window is on display, and nothing is for sale, but something there might already belong to you. All these items have been forgotten, lost, or abandoned along the Long Island Rail Road, and for months they sit there under aseptic fluorescent lights, waiting for someone to come and claim them.

    “Books never come back,” Henry Felton said as he propped a surfboard against a shelf of laptops. “The books that I get, people aren’t looking for. And the ones people are looking for, they never come in. People come in for nothing things like a shopping bag of toilet paper or a coffee cup. But the most expensive things—an iPhone 6—nobody’s come in for it yet.”

The whole concept was sold to me that nothing would be seen. I feel so taken advantage of…I’ve definitely learned my lesson…I’m never taking my clothes off again, even if it’s for Vogue. I don’t want people to be like, ‘All she’s good for is, you know, being naked.
