Found items in Garda Stations
July 7th, 2010
It’s amazing how much stuff is found and handed in to Garda stations. I’ve been in to a few Garda stations while researching Found.ie and there are boxes filled with mobile phones, jewellery, glasses, passports and tonnes of other personal and valuable stuff.
If you’ve lost something, check out all your local garda stations. People are basically good, and do hand stuff in.
And tell them about Found.ie
If all the Garda stations used Found.ie, more people would get their stuff back, and it would be great positive thing for the Gardai.
