Lost Property

If you know where you lost your property

If you know where you might have lost your item, for example, at the train station, on the bus, or in the restaurant, then contact that establishment directly.  If you have contacted the facility and your item has not been reported, then report it to the nearest police station or police box.

 

If you do not know where you lost your property

If you are not sure where you lost your item, whether it was on the street or elsewhere, then report it to the nearest police station or police box.  It is advisable to go to the closest police station where you think you lost the item, as the person who may have found it, might have delivered it there.
