Lost and Found

Did you know the University Police Department is open 24 hours per day?

Among the items we routinely take in as found are cell phones, wallets/purses, electronic equipment, driver's licenses, and ATM cards.  If your name or other form of ID is with the item, you can call (530) 898-5555 to claim your property.  Police personnel make every attempt to notify owners of identifiable property.

Cash or items having a high dollar value can only be retrieved by appointment, as they are kept in a high-security facility.

Check for missing keys, glasses, clothing, notebooks/binders and other miscellaneous items in the University Police Department lobby. Due to the volume of these items, police personnel cannot tell you over the phone if we have these items.

State-issued keys that allow access to campus properties are turned in to the Key Shop at (530) 898-3906.

If you have lost your Wildcat ID card, you will need to contact Wildcat ID Cards Monday-Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, at (530) 898-6119 and UPD Card Access at (530) 898-5373 if you have card access.

Other points on campus where found property is frequently turned in include the Campus Info Booth at the BMU (530-898-4636) and the Main Circulation Desk at the Library (530-898-6501); however, all property is eventually turned in to University Police by the staff members at these two locations.

All found property is to be turned into law enforcement, and it is a violation of Section 485 of the California Penal Code to keep found property that does not belong to you.  There is usually a provision for you to claim found property you turn in after the required time period has lapsed and attempts have been made to return the property to its owner.
