How the Lost & Found System Works

1. Reporting an Item

If you find a lost item on campus, submit a report using the Report Found form. If you've lost something, file a report on the Report Lost page, optionally adding a bounty.

2. Item is Logged & Stored

Found items are stored securely in the Lost & Found Room (Admin Block, Ground Floor). Reports are logged digitally and visible on the View Items page.

3. Claiming an Item

If you see an item you lost in the "Found Items" list, click Claim. You’ll be directed to a page to submit a photo or description proof.

4. Admin Verifies Proof

Admin checks your proof and contacts you via email for physical pickup. If verified, you'll be asked to visit the Lost & Found Room to collect it.

5. Lost Item Rewards (Optional)

If a bounty was listed by the owner for a lost item, it will be mentioned. This encourages helpful participation across the community.

6. Final Collection

Once verified, you can collect the item physically during office hours. The platform will then mark the item as Resolved.
