Objects found or recovered

Have you lost or misplaced something on or near the LUMC grounds? We keep all objects found or recovered in a public location. This way, it will be easy for their owners to find them again. Check out the objects found in and around the LUMC via iLost.

How does it work?

• Is your lost item on the list on iLost? React immediately using the “claim item” button.
• You will be asked to answer a number of security questions so we know that the found object will be returned to its rightful owner.
• You can choose between picking up the object, for which there is no charge, or having it sent on to your home, for which you will be required to pay a fee.

Documents found, such as identity cards, passports or driving licenses, are handed over to the Municipality of Leiden. For this, we direct you to verlorenofgevonden.nl. Illegal goods (including weapons, ammunition and narcotics) are immediately surrendered to the police.

Storage period

We do not keep objects found for an undetermined period of time. Goods up to a value of €450 that are not claimed within 3 months are either destroyed or donated to a good cause. Found objects with a value exceeding this are kept for a maximum period of 1 year.

Recordings made using drones

The area within 1200 meters of the grounds constitutes a no-fly zone for drones. This is because the LUMC has its own helicopter platform. Flying within a radius of 1200 meters is only allowed in cases where the LUMC has given its permission. You can find more information about this on the central government's webpage.

To make recordings using drones, you must submit a timely application to the LUMC. This can be done during office hours via bhv_oto@lumc.nl and outside of office hours via beveiliging@lumc.nl.
