What to tell them
Have ready: the line, the time you rode, the direction or last station, and the car number (printed inside the carriage). A clear description of the item speeds things up.
Storage and disposal
Items are held about 7 days at the Lost & Found center, then transferred to the police station, where they're kept for roughly 9 months before passing to the national treasury. Search Lost112 if your item has already moved to police.

Need help in English?
Center staff mostly speak Korean and phone lines can be tricky from abroad. We can call on your behalf, recover the item, and ship it anywhere.
