Question about putting items on the ground

[animalcrossingverton]

I don't have a police station in my town and someone moved in over a place were I had some items on the ground? Where did they go and can I get them back?

When you get the police station, the items you lost should be in there. Other than that, they're pretty much hanging around in limbo.
