Valuable items as well as mobile phones, wallets and electronics also return to lost property offices quite well in Pirkanmaa region. Most of the items are recorded on our system, so they can be found easily even if a loss happened a fairly long time ago.
The items are stored so that they cannot be seen by visiting our office. When claiming an item it must be described first. The items will be handed out only if ownership can be assured.

Of course if agreed separately, someone else (like your friend or a family member) can visit us and claim your lost property for you.
