Lost property in Berlin

In Berlin, there are several central offices for lost property.  Berliners are generally an honest bunch so you may be lucky enough that your lost item is handed in.  If so, it will most likely find its way to one of the following Fundbüros (Lost and found offices).

IMPORTANT:  Please make sure to cancel any credit or debit cards if you lose these by contacting your bank.  If you have lost your passport you should contact your embassy as soon as possible to organise a replacement.  You may also need to make a police report for your insurance provider too.
