The Lone Star College Police Department does NOT accept or process any lost and found items with the exception of firearms or items that are illegal to possess. The Student Conference Center Welcome Desk (reception counter) is Kingwood's main Lost and Found department. Items found in the Learning Commons may be temporarily located in the Lost & Found bin in the Workroom until taken to the SCC Lost and Found.
If any item found in the Learning Commons has a patron's name on it or other identifying data, try to locate the contact information using Campus Community or Workflows. For "found" wallets, check for Drivers License or student IDs to find contact information. Call and/or email the patron that we will hold onto the item in the Workroom Lost & Found for a limited time before we bring it to the SCC Lost and Found.
To temporarily place an item in the Workroom Lost & Found, use tape to stick a note to the item with the date of when/where the item was found.
Do NOT put any food or drink containers in the Workroom Lost & Found!
