Finding a lost item in the Haram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person finds a lost item in the Haram and takes it, should we advise him to return it to where he found it, or should he go and give it to the police?

Answer:
He should give it to the police, who take lost money and keep it safe for its owners. If someone loses something, he goes to this place, describes it, and they hand it over to him. Yes.
