C'est la vie.
You would only need one person to walk through the area hourly... perhaps carrying a garbage bag. If there is an unattended table with a sweater and the post-it from the walkthrough the hour before (see my earlier post) then just toss the abandoned sweater into the bag and that's it. Perhaps once a month or so the collected sweaters could be donated to the Hospital Thrift Store. The previous owners could "retrieve" them there for a few bucks.
If I leave a home-made sign that said "I'm saving this table" would somebody clearing the area be obligated to save the sign until I claim it? No different than a "Table Saving Sweater."
