Section 50

Any lost or unclaimed property deposited at a police station in accordance with any written law shall, if claimed within 3 months by any person who establishes his claim to such property to the satisfaction of the Deputy Commissioner, be returned to him on payment of any expenses reasonably incurred.

If the property is of a perishable nature it may be sold at once and the proceeds of sale forwarded to the Deputy Commissioner pending any claim to such property.

If any such property is not claimed within 3 months, or if the claimant refuses to pay the expenses reasonably incurred, the property may be sold, and the proceeds of the sale, after deducting such expenses, shall if amounting to $50 or less be paid into the Police Fund and if exceeding $50 be paid into the Consolidated Fund after payment of the sum of $50 into the Police Fund.
