The Boulder Police Department no longer holds auctions for abandoned, lost or found items. The Boulder Police Department now contracts with Propertyroom.com for the sale of auction items. Community members interested in bidding online can go to Property Room.
Personal Property With a Known Owner is Kept for 60 days
Unclaimed property is destroyed, donated or auctioned after 60 days. Property without a known owner (abandoned or found) is held for 10 days past the public notification.

Retrieve Evidence or Property
Retrieve Your Evidence
Evidence is held until a final disposition is reached (Notice of Final Action from DA, or statute of limitations expire, etc.). After proper approval to release evidence is received a property card is sent to the owner advising the item(s) of evidence are ready to be released.
Retrieve Your Property
To retrieve your property from the Evidence Vault, you must first make an appointment.
- Appointments are normally scheduled during police department operating hours.
- To make an appointment please call 303-441-3340 or email police-property@bouldercolorado.gov
We will help walk-ins as we can, but it’s much easier when people have appointments. We can also accept early or late appointments on a case-by-case basis.
