We’d all like to think the dish ran away with the spoon and they both lived happily after ever. BUT, chances are those missing dishes–not to mention napkin holders, salt shakers and silverware–may be hiding in plain sight in your room! In fact, $30,000 worth of crockery makes a break for it every year. (Shocking isn’t it?)

You can help give those wayward dishes a happy ending by helping them find their way back home to us. Before they sneak into your suitcase or jump into the trash, take them to a Dish Amnesty box. The boxes are located in residential elevator lobbies and other residence hall locations at the end of April.
