Staff at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Charlottetown got a surprise recently, with a little something extra included with a donation.

Last week someone dropped off a dryer and staff discovered a clean load of laundry inside.

"All dry and everything, just not folded," said store manager Paul Molyneaux.

Looking for owner

Molyneaux said finding the clothes was a little unusual, but it's not the first time something like this has happened.

"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," Molyneaux said. 

The store doesn't know to whom the 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 leads and Molyneaux said if no one comes forward by Wednesday the store will donate the clothes to the Salvation Army.
