Found an item? Your responsibilities

What to do when you find someone else's property — your responsibilities and how to return it safely.

Found something in Logan? Handling it responsibly protects both you and the owner. Rules vary by location, but the principles are consistent.

Make a reasonable effort to find the owner. Check for ID, contact details, or anything that identifies who it belongs to.
Don't assume it's yours to keep. Keeping found property without trying to return it can have legal consequences. When in doubt, hand it in.
Hand valuables to the authorities. Report significant or high-value finds to the police non-emergency line for Logan; they'll log it and may issue a reference.
Store it safely. Keep the item secure and unchanged while you try to return it.
Post a found listing. Add a found-item listing for Logan with enough detail for the real owner to identify it — while holding back one verifying detail.

Found coins in Logan

I found these coins this afternoon around 3:40 p.m. on Main Street by the Logan City Library's front steps. I brushed off a little dirt and counted a few different coins, from dimes to a dusty old penny. It felt a bit like finding a small clue, and I hope they find their way back to you. If this is yours, please claim it through the site.

Found equipment for various sports near USU campus

On Tuesday around 7:45 p.m., I found this Equipment for Various Sports near the Utah State University library, tucked behind a bench near Old Main Hill. Inside was a soccer ball, a basketball, two tennis rackets, and a dusty skateboard. It looked like someone had hurriedly dropped it and kept going; nothing was vandalized, just left behind. I’m posting this because it clearly belongs to someone in Logan, and I hope the owner sees it soon.

Black North Face backpack found near Logan Library

I found a black North Face backpack this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Logan Public Market on Main Street, near the bus stop by the Logan Library. It's a medium-sized pack, about 22 liters, made of sturdy black nylon, with bright orange zipper pulls and a small top-loop. The front pocket features a white lotus embroidery, and a blue USB-C cable sticks out from the side mesh pocket. Inside, there are a few notebooks and a chewed pencil, nothing obviously valuable, but it looks like it holds a lot of daily gear. It seems well-used but in good shape overall, and it must belong to someone who travels a lot—happy to reunite it with its owner.

Navy blue US passport found near Main Street Logan Market

I found a navy blue US passport this afternoon around 3:45pm near the downtown Logan Market on Main Street. The cover is the standard navy color with the gold seal, and there’s a small crease along the bottom-right corner from being kept in a bag. Inside, the pages look clean and intact, no water damage. There’s a faded sticker from a local gym on the inside cover, which helped me notice it wasn’t mine. I know how stressful it is to lose a passport, so I’m hoping to reunite it with its owner soon—message me here and we can arrange a safe pickup near the Market or the library.

Gray tabby found behind Willow Park, Logan

I found a gray tabby this afternoon around 2:15pm behind The Coffee Nook on Main Street in Logan. It's a medium-sized cat with a white chest and white paws, short coat, and a tiny white heart-shaped patch on the chest. It wears a bright green collar with a small bell that jingles when it moves. One ear is slightly bent, which makes it easy to recognize. It purred when I picked it up and seems friendly. If this is your cat, you can verify with that collar color and the heart-shaped patch; I’d really like to get it back to its owner. I can meet at Willow Park or bring it to the Cache Valley Humane Society for a safe handoff.

Black JBL Bluetooth speaker with star sticker

I found a black JBL Flip 5 Bluetooth speaker this afternoon around 4:15pm behind the Logan Central Plaza near the Food Court on Main Street. It's in decent shape, with a small scuff on the bottom corner and a white star sticker on the top edge that’s easy to spot. The fabric grille is intact and the JBL logo on the side is clean. I tested it quickly by pairing to my phone and it connected fine, so it seems functional. If this belongs to you, I’d love to help get it back—we can meet at the plaza security desk or a nearby cafe to hand it over.
