Lost and found

If you have found something, you can report it in person at the desk or digitally report a found object(external link).

If you find an object and you do not know who the owner is, you are obliged to report it as soon as possible. You do this at the municipality where you found the object. You can keep the object with you or deposit it with the municipality for safekeeping.

Lost and found objects with a daily value of up to €450 are kept by the municipality for three months. If the finder wishes to become the owner of the object, the retention period is one year. Found and lost objects with a daily value of more than €450, the municipality keeps one year.

If you decide to keep the object yourself, you are obliged to take care of its maintenance so that its condition does not deteriorate. If the owner does not report, you become the owner after one year. This is only possible if you have indicated immediately upon notification that you want to become the owner.
