"It happens every once in a while, we'll get that kind of thing, or we'll get you know dressers with some clothes in it or drawers with picture albums," Molyneauxsaid.

The store doesn't know to whomthe clothes belong, as it doesn't keep track of names for donations. The store posted about the clothes on social media in the hopes of tracking down the owner.

So far, the store has had no leadsand Molyneauxsaid if no one comes forward by Wednesdaythe store will donate the clothes to the Salvation Army.
