Policy outline
Purpose and scope. Which locations and item types this policy covers, and that it is venue-run (not a third-party desk).
Intake and logging. Same-day logging, photos, and where found items are routed from the floor.
Storage and security. Labeled storage, access limits, and how high-value or personal items are handled.
Holding period. How long you keep items by category, and what happens when the period ends. See how long venues should keep lost items; confirm local rules with counsel.
Claims and matching. Private inventory, how guests file, and how staff match without a public catalogue.
Verification. Held-back details, ID checks at pickup, and staff then guest confirmation. See verification guide.
Pickup and shipping. Signature at pickup, guest-paid shipping when the guest has left, and carriers your desk supports.
Unclaimed items. Contact attempts, donation, sale, destruction or other outcomes, each recorded. Boomerang unclaimed views support recorded decisions when you use the software.
Roles and training. Who logs, who matches, who approves release, and annual refreshers.
Guest communication. How guests learn status without calling the front desk.
Pair this with your operating procedure
The lost and found procedure guide walks through day-to-day steps. The log template gives you the fields to track while you are on paper.

What else should a buyer ask?
Does Boomerang set our holding period?
No. Your venue sets policy. Boomerang records outcomes and unclaimed status; it does not replace your counsel on local rules.
Can we share this policy with guests?
Use a short guest-facing summary for claim pages; keep internal verification detail in the staff version.
Is Boomerang a managed service?
No. Your team runs the lost and found desk in Boomerang; we provide the software, onboarding, training, SOPs and signage. Boomerang is the guest experience platform for venues, and it keeps working around the clock. Lost & Found and KeepSafe are its products.
