Lost in Munich

Altogether, about 4,000 objects -- ranging from secret government papers to a glass eye -- were dropped off at the office.

"The shelves are full," an office spokesman told reporters. "We would not have had any more room if the festival had gone on any longer."

Among the things left behind were also prosthetic limbs and the arm of a mannequin, a set dentures with five golden teeth, sheet music by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, a live quail, Bulgarian birth and marriage certificates and a ring with an engraved wedding date just four days before it was found.

Oktoberfest officials said the newlywed man had not come back to claim the ring, just like hundreds of others who lost rings, mobile phones, pairs of glasses and a wheelchair.

The top secret papers related to a reform of laws in Bavaria -- but officials gave no further details about the content.
