My item was found. How do I collect it?

If your object is found, you can collect it at the Lost and Found Office on weekdays. You must first be able to describe the lost object. If you have a picture, send it to us or bring it over. If an object has been found that matches your description and you recognise it as your property, you can reclaim it if you show a valid identity document.

Found something?

Take it to the Lost and Found Office or to the police. You can also report what you’ve found online.
