Lost items are temporarily held at the station where they were found before being

transferred to Albrook station.  Items found, on trains are taken to terminal stations. during the commercial service. At the end of the day, they are taken to, the Albrook station. Owners have 30 days to claim their lost item.

Once this period has expired, the objects are sent to the Metro Administrative Office which has 5 working days to define its fate; either discard or destruction, refer to non-profit organizations or public institutions or Metro assets.
