   * Do not leave any property at the Bodgery that does not fit on your storage shelf.
-    * Unless you request a “parking permit” from the board.  (See 5.3)
+    * Unless you fill out a “parking permit”.  (See 5.3)
   * If you want to donate/lend tools to the Bodgery, you must get prior approval from the board.  (See 5.4 and 5.5)

-**5.2  Handling Abandoned Property at The Bodgery **
+** 5.2  Handling Abandoned Property at The Bodgery **
 Because The Bodgery must actively defend itself from clutter and unwanted property, abandoned property is treated as though the owner places no value on it and will not return to claim it. In the interest of the members of The Bodgery and their need for a clean, safe workshop, the Board of Directors will thus use or dispose of the abandoned property however it sees fit.
 Property is considered abandoned if it meets at least one of the following criteria:
-* The property was never approved by the Board of Directors when this approval was required (see 5.1)
 * The property is neither shared nor donated, violates the safe storage rules, has no attached Parking Permit, and has an attached Parking Ticket with an expired grace period
 * The property is in member storage and is either stored unsafely or exceeds the owning member’s plot
 * The property is owned by a former member and has not been collected within thirty days of that person’s departure from The Bodgery
-**5.3  Parking Tickets **
+**5.3  Abandoned property **
-Any member of The Bodgery can attach a Parking Ticket to property he or she suspects is abandoned (see 5.2.2).
+Member property that is not stored completely in their storage space, or does not have a parking permit attached will be considered abandoned. Space permitting, abandoned property will be moved to the Hack Rack. If there is not adequate space on the Hack Rack for the abandoned property, it will first be offered to area captains and then either donated, recycled, or thrown in the trash.
-The member affixing the Parking Ticket (the “finder”) must undertake a goodwill effort to contact the owner of the property by sending an email with:
-  * In the subject line, put the words “ABANDONED PROPERTY PARKING TICKET”
+//Note: It is wise to label with your name anything personal you bring to and use in the space. Accidents happen and everyone forgets things occasionally. To maintain ownership of your property, please label accordingly.//
-  * In the message, describe the property and where it was found
-  * In the message, mention the ticket and when it was attached
-  * Send the message to <TheBodgery@googlegroups.com>
-Immediately after the message is sent, a seven day grace period begins. If the owner has not stored the property correctly by 12:00 AM of the morning after the grace period expires, the property will be considered abandoned and disposed of accordingly (see 5.2.1).
