Instruction manual
1
Place an advertisement in local and regional newspapers. You cannot know for sure in which city a person lives who has lost his personal thing. In the announcements indicate the name of the item found and the name of its owner, indicated directly on it.
2
Contact the city help desk. Perhaps the information desk will be able to provide you with information about the place of residence of a citizen, based only on data with his last name, first name and patronymic (if any).
3
Carefully examine the discovered thing. If this is a personal reward from the time of the war, contact organizations specially created for veterans. If this is a modern military distinctive sign or order - go with him to the draft board. This organization must check to whom and when this distinctive sign was awarded. It is possible that the staff of the military registration and enlistment office will continue to search for a person who has lost a personal thing. In this case, you will have to transfer the found thing to them.
4
Contact the city administration. If the personal thing that you found carries an award character, but does not apply to the military unit, it can be issued for services to the city or even state services. All awards and honorary gifts ever given to citizens by state organizations must be taken into account in specialized documentation and executed with the passport data of the person to whom they are intended.
note
When transferring a personal thing to the owner, make a description of it, documented with the signatures of witnesses, in order to avoid claims to its appearance or condition in the future.
Useful advice
If you find any obviously expensive thing, record the find in the local police. Then no one will be able to present property claims to you.
