Lost & found across Taiwan

Lost something? Start here to see whether it's been found and which police station it was handed in to.

Updated daily

The data is the found property the National Police Agency posts every day; it currently holds 89,103 items across Taiwan (found between 2026-04-03 and 2026-10-03, a rolling six months). The official site makes you get "where found," "notice date range" and "item type" right and pass a captcha before it will let you search — and those are exactly the three things someone who lost something is least likely to know. Here it's the other way round: type a keyword, pick the date you lost it, look at the map.

There are no photos here — the official site has them. The National Police Agency's open data has no image field; the official site's search results show up to two photos of a lost item, but the images come back only with a search that has passed the captcha, so we can't get them and shouldn't republish them anyway. That's why every item has a "See photos on the official site" link, and "How to fill the official form" works out the four required fields for you, including the receipt number so you can check it's the same item.

What "bulk inventory" means. Hotels, department stores and venues post a whole month of items guests left behind as a single notice — for example, "Hotel X, February guest lost-property list (20 items in all)." These have no item-by-item names, and you claim them at that venue, not at a police station.

Not finding it doesn't mean nobody found it. Items usually don't enter the system the same day; for things lost on the metro, on Taiwan Railway, at the airport or in a mall, the law has the venue post them for claiming first, and hands them to the police only once the period is up — during that window you have to check that venue's own system.

Claiming: within the six-month notice period, bring your own seal and photo ID to the police station holding the item (for a bulk inventory, go to the venue). We don't rank "which area loses the most stuff" — a high count only means that area has more people and more shops. The rest is on Sources & limits. Data updated 2026-10-04 05:16.
