Lost, stolen and found property

You can turn in items you've found and find out if we have your lost or stolen item.

What to do

If you find a gun or other weapon

  • Call 911.
  • Do not touch or move it.
  • Police will examine the gun or weapon to determine whether it was used in a crime.

 

If you find other items

  • Take items to the nearest police precinct.
  • An officer will  enter a  report and give it a case number.
  • We'll send the item to the Property and Evidence Unit.
  • If we cannot return an item to its owner within six months, it will go to public auction.

 

If you have a lost or stolen item

  • Contact the Police Property and Evidence Unit.
  • We can search our database for recovered lost or stolen items and let you know if we find a match.
  • We will continue to check for matches to reported lost items for up to six months.
