They were tossed out with the trash. Dozens of boxes filled with personal records turned up Sunday night in an Orlando dumpster.

Orlando Police are investigating where the documents came from and what, if any, crime was committed. Police say it was a cleaning man who put the old records in the dumpster. But they still don’t know how they ended up at the office, or who they belonged to.
