SBEA Lost & Found Policy
Lost and Found provides for the care, restitution, sale and destruction of unclaimed, lost, or abandoned property. The goal of Lost and Found is to ensure all lost items are returned to their rightful owner in a timely and efficient manner.
SBEA LOST AND FOUND POLICY
The SBEA is not responsible for the security of personal items brought into any SBEA facility. Unclaimed items are managed in accordance with the following guidelines:
• If the owner of a lost and found item satisfactorily identifies the lost item, the item will be returned.
• Perishable items such as food, baby bottles, beverage containers and personal care items will be disposed of immediately.
• Lost and Found items will be dated and stored for a period of thirty (30) days. Reasonable attempts will be made to contact the owners (to the extent ownership is known) to reclaim their lost items. Items not claimed within thirty (30) days become SBEA property. Unclaimed items will then be donated to charity or discarded.
• Certain types of property including unclaimed identification documents, driver’s licenses, credit cards, wallets, laptops and cell phones will be forwarded to the SBEA Executive Director.
