Regulation 6 Search of vehicles for lost property and delivery to operator or his representative

Immediately before, or on, the termination of any journey of a vehicle the conductor of the vehicle shall search the vehicle so far as practicable for any property accidentally left in the vehicle.

The conductor of a vehicle to whom any property is handed, in accordance with Regulation 4 of the 1934 Regulations or Regulation 5 above, or who himself finds any property in a vehicle shall, as soon as possible and in any case within 24 hours (unless the property has been returned to its owner under paragraph (3) below), deliver the property for safe custody in the state in which it came into his possession to the operator of the vehicle or his representative.

If any such property as is referred to in paragraph (2) above is claimed by a person who satisfies the conductor that he is the owner of the property, it shall be returned to that person forthwith, without charge, on that person giving his name and address to the conductor who shall, as soon as may be, report the facts and give the claimant's name and address and a description of the property to the operator or his representative.
