Did you leave anything behind at the Electric Picnic?

Gardaí haul includes phones, cameras, and handbag

Smashed mobile phones, cracked cameras, house keys, car keys, handbags, dirty jackets and jumpers – it's a wonder Electric Picnic organisers hold on to half the missing property they do but if you've lost it, there's a chance the gardaí still have it.

Those clinging to distant hopes have one last chance to reclaim their wares, although it will involve another, less exciting trip to Stradbally in Co Laois.

Gardaí in the town are holding an open day today for anyone willing to sort through the remnants of the 2015 festival. Anything dug out of the mud following the three day concert is here.

"You name it -phones were a big portion," Stradbally superintendant Joe Prendergast said of the not-so-inspiring treasure pile.

There may not be much in the way of oddities or valuables, but pictures provided by gardai reveal mounds of keys, phones and assortments of random clothing.

More urgent lost property, like passports, bank cards and driving licences have already been returned to the issuing authorities.

Whatever remains will be on display from 10am to 5pm today and what isn’t claimed will make its way to a charity bin.

Members of the public may call Portlaoise Garda station (057) 8674100 to report specific details of lost items. Gardaí have published a gallery of lost items here:https://www.flickr.com/photos/gardasiochana/sets/72157660078837418
