Have you lost something?
Anyone who finds an item is legally obliged to report the find to the relevant regulatory authority.
Found items must be kept for 6 months. If no owner can be found after the prescribed retention period, the finder is entitled to claim ownership.
In the event of abandonment, the City of Beckum becomes the owner. Under certain circumstances, however, the rightful owner can demand the return of ownership within three years.
You can find out whether your missing item has already been handed in to the lost property office of the town of Beckum in the online lost property office.

Finder's fee
The finder can claim a finder's fee from the owner; the amount depends on the value of the item found.
The right to a finder's fee is governed by private law.
You can report your lost property in the online lost property office of the town of Beckum. You can also contact the citizens' office in Beckum or Neubeckum directly.
