The town is hereby authorized to establish a procedure for the registration of “lost-and-found” property. The procedure shall give the finder of any property the option of relinquishing any future claim to found property at the time its possession is surrendered to the police or other agent of the town, or of retaining possession of the property after registering its description and the finder’s identity with the Police Department or other agent of the town. Only property in which the finder relinquishes any future claim to ownership will be stored in municipal police property rooms.
