Lost and Found
The University Police Department is the central repository for lost and found items on the Mizzou campus. Each year, our Property Administrator fields over 1000 calls for lost items. Found items are received almost daily from various buildings, departments and individuals throughout campus. We make every effort to identify and contact the owner of all property that has been turned in to us.
Our efforts are guided by policy and procedure for the University of Missouri campus (see: The Business Policy and Procedure Manual 6:100). All items turned in to Lost and Found are kept for at least sixty days. After the sixty-day period, all sellable items are sent to University Surplus Property where they are sold at auction.
Lost Items: Most buildings on campus have a temporary lost and found storage where they retain items until they are brought to MUPD. If you have lost an item, retrace your steps and check with administration at or near the buildings where you lost the item(s). If you cannot locate your property, email Lost/Found Department or call (573) 882-7207. You can also submit a Lost/Found Item Report . Be prepared to provide your name, contact information, property description, and location where you lost your property.
Found Items: If you have found property and feel comfortable returning it to the owner, please do so. Otherwise, complete a Lost/Found Item report or bring the property MU Police Department. If you bring the item to MUPD, be sure to attach a note listing the date and location where the property was found.
NOTE: There are some items we cannot accept. Here’s a complete list of those items.
If you have items in bulk or more than just a few items, drop them off during lost and found hours.
Operating hours: 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday (Except Holidays)
