Welcome to the
University of California, Berkeley Lost and Found.
We are the central repository for lost and found on the Berkeley
Campus. The Police Department on the Berkeley Campus is
located in Room 1 Sproul Hall, just north of the intersection of
Bancroft Way and Telegraph Avenue.
FOUND SOMETHING? If
you find a lost item on the Berkeley Campus it is your
responsibility to turn in the item to the UC Berkeley Police
Department front counter. The Lost and Found is unable to accept
found items of clothing.
LOST SOMETHING? The
online service found on this page will be your best option for

description of the item you have lost. The software will search
our database of found items and show you matches, or potential

entered daily. Click

HAVE WE FOUND YOUR ITEM?
Found items can be retrieved from the Lost and Found office.
During our remodeling, office hours are 10a.m. to 3p.m., Monday
through Friday, (excluding holidays). Other times to pick up
your item may be arranged by appointment.
To claim an item you must have the following
- Valid identification, such as the following
- Driver's license
- Student ID
- Employee ID
- Passport
- Other photo ID
- Proof of ownership, at least one of the following
- Purchase receipt

WHAT HAPPENS
TO UNCLAIMED ITEMS? Found items are held at the Police
Department for 90 days, after which time UCPD disposes of them.
Buildings throughout campus will sometimes maintain their own
collection of non-valuable lost & found items such as books or
clothing, but will turn over anything of value to UCPD on a
weekly basis. After 90 days, unclaimed valuables may be
auctioned. You can view the auction online "propertyroom.com".
Any monies or proceeds from unclaimed found items will be
distibuted to UC Regents.
