§ 30-27. PROPERTY FOUND BY A PRIVATE PERSON.
   Any personal property found by a person other than a public official or employee, which is delivered to any police officer for identification, if not claimed or identified within 30 days, shall, within ten additional days thereafter, if requested by the finder, be returned to him or her, and a record of such disposal made thereof. If the finder does not request return of the property to him or her within such additional ten days, then the Chief of Police shall sell the property as if it had been found by a public official or employee, or, on instruction by the Mayor, deliver it to some department or office of the city government for its use.
