Question 1217 in the bank

To whom should you hand lost-and-found objects found in public vehicles?

  1. Nobody. You should locate the owner and return the lost object to him.
  2. To the dispatcher at the taxi station of the same route service.
  3. Correct answer: To the police, or according to any pre-determined arrangements with the owner of the route service.
  4. To the dispatcher at the bus station of the same route service.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: To the police, or according to any pre-determined arrangements with the owner of the route service.

Lost-and-found objects found in a public vehicle are handed to the police, or to another party under a pre-determined arrangement with the owner of the route service. So they should not be handed to just any dispatcher at a station, and you should not keep them and try to locate the owner yourselves. Handing them to a dispatcher is correct only if the dispatcher is the party named in the arrangement.
