Information on procedures for finding lost items in the subway (precautions)
Let’s learn about the procedures when taking someone else’s belongings on the subway.
Visit and leave your items at a nearby police station or a lost and found agency located across the country.
Upon application, we check whether the acquirer has waived his/her rights.
If the right is waived, if the lost person is not found after 6 months, the item is returned to the national treasury, transferred or destroyed, and if the right is not given up, the person who acquired the item can acquire it.
If you have acquired another person’s property and take it for yourself, you may be subject to the crime of embezzlement of property out of possession, so please visit the nearest police station or district center immediately and report the acquisition.
I once picked up a smartphone, and when I called 112 right away, police officers came to my house and took away the smartphone I had picked up. If you find it difficult to visit the police station or lost property disposal agency in person, you can also report it to 112.
