Your rights to keeping lost, found and uncollected goods.

Uncollected or abandoned goods

If you have uncollected or abandoned goods you have a duty to look after them, but cannot use them or treat them as your own. You will be liable for any damage caused to the goods while they are in your care.

You can sell uncollected goods if you take reasonable steps to find and contact the original owner following the correct procedure.
