FAQ / Lost Keys: How does “Lost and Found” work in this community?

Since keys are the most lost item, two examples follow:

What do you do if you LOST you keys?

Immediately call the Lost and Found information resource person (currently Guy Scharf) with information describing the item lost, plus when and where the item was lost. Identifying characteristics are helpful (e.g. color of wristband if applicable or number of keys lost). The Lost and Found designee will contact you when item(s) are found and arrangements can be made for you to retrieve the item(s).

What do you do if you find keys? e.g. keys hanging in the mailbox key slot

1. Take a minute to ID the location of the mailbox (e.g. 3rd down from the top on the far right bank of boxes).
2. Lock the box if open and take the keys with you. Put keys and note in a “Ziploc” bag with date, time and where found.
3. Call Guy Scharf with identifying information.
4. If someone calls you re: lost keys, ask him or her to describe where their box is located and exactly where they live if you don’t know them. Ask about any other identifying information re: the misplaced keys (e.g. key was on a orange wrist band).
