Lost Items in Storage Hunters: Open World are 29 fixed collectibles scattered across the map. None of them are random, so the only thing between you and a full set is knowing the exact spot and handling two tricky requirements. Most failed runs come from bad routing and from selling the Key before it unlocks the Scythe.
Quick answer: Grab the Key under the bridge near the Farmyard first, use it to open the Back Alley garage for the Scythe, and never sell the Key or Backpack early. Then clear all 29 items by area to avoid backtracking.

Get the Key before the Scythe
The Scythe is locked behind the Key, so this pair has to be done in order. Handle it early and the rest of the run is just parkour and camera work.
Note: Do not sell the Key before using it. If you sell it by mistake, it respawns after about 12 hours, which stalls your whole collection.
Digital Alarm Clock wall glitch in the mall
The Digital Alarm Clock is the one item that stops most players. It sits behind a wall in the Shopping Mall, between the grading and cleaning service areas, and you have to push through with your car.
Fastest route to clear all Lost Items
Working through areas in this order cuts travel time and gets the Key handled before you need the Scythe.
| Order | Area | Items to grab |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Farmyard | Needle, Branding Iron |
| 2 | Farm Pond | Horseshoe, Painting, Saddle |
| 3 | Trailer Store / Bridge | Cow Milker, Key |
| 4 | Back Alley | Scythe, Beehive, Suitcase |
| 5 | Junkyard | Bluetooth Speaker, Backpack, Camera, Watering Can |
| 6 | Mall cluster | Professional Camera, Digital Alarm Clock, LED Flashlight, Bonsai Plant |
| 7 | Playground / Gas Station | Book, Circular Saw |
| 8 | Auto Dealership | Acoustic Guitar |
| 9 | Construction / Beach | Cowbell, Butter Churn |
| 10 | Shipyard | Lava Lamp, Jade Bracelet, Flip Cell Phone, Classic Telephone, Marble Vase, Typewriter |
Rooftop and crane items that need a car
Several items sit on roofs or towers, and a vehicle makes the jumps far more reliable than raw parkour. A few key ones behave predictably once you know the entry point.
- Suitcase and Acoustic Guitar: park a car next to the building and jump from the roof of the car. This is more consistent than fence hops for short or bulky avatars.
- Flip Cell Phone and Classic Telephone: take the Shipyard crane route, cross the crane path, then drop onto the container stack or ship. Do not try to climb containers from the ground.
- Typewriter and Jade Bracelet: use a car to start the tower climb, then take the ladder slowly, since a fall here costs more time than a careful jump.
Items you should not sell early
Two items have a purpose beyond the collection count, so hold onto them until you have used them. The safe order is to use the Key first, equip the Backpack if you want the accessory, then decide what to offload.
| Item | Sell? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Key | Not yet | Unlocks the Back Alley garage for the Scythe |
| Backpack | No | Wearable through your accessory inventory |
| Scythe | Later, optional | Keep until your collection progress is safe |
| Other items | Usually fine | Mainly collection pieces |
Hardest Lost Items and how to beat them
| Item | Problem | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Digital Alarm Clock | Needs a wall glitch | Park the car tight against the mall wall and re-enter it |
| Classic Telephone | Crane and ship access | Move slowly across the crane route |
| Flip Cell Phone | Container drop | Approach from the crane, not the ground |
| Typewriter | Tower climb | Use a car boost and jump carefully |
| Needle | Hidden in crops | Zoom out or switch to first-person |
| Suitcase | Rooftop access | Use a car or stacked items in a truck bed |
You will know each pickup registered when the item vanishes from the world and your Lost Items count ticks up. If a prompt does not appear at a tunnel, dumpster, or roof, rotate your camera until the interact button shows before assuming you are in the wrong spot. Clear the Key and Scythe pairing, push through the mall wall for the Digital Alarm Clock, and the remaining 27 pickups fall into place along the route above.
