LOST AND FOUND ITEMS
Whether you lost or found something at Burning Man, there are several ways to reconnect things with their rightful owner.
Option #1: By far your best option is to create a post under the lost and found discussion on the ePlaya. You can post a description of a lost or found item, and scan other posts to see if someone has your missing stuff.
Option #2: Try the same thing on the Burning Man Tribe ... there's a big and helpful Burning Man community to be found there.
Option #3: Send an email with a description of the item to: lostfound(at)burningman(dot)com. If your stuff has been turned in or someone has written in having found it, we'll do our best to re-unite you.

Lost a camera or film? A few weeks after the event, we develop all the lost film we find, post a selection of representative shots on our website so people can identify their film, and we can return it to them. Stay tuned for that.
What about lost bikes? In the past, Burning Man's efforts to re-unite lost bikes with owners has had some success, but measurably less than the effort expended.
This year the crew who assembled hundreds of Community Yellow Bikes also collected hundreds of abandoned bikes post-event. They are based in Reno, NV. You can write them at lostbikes (at) burningman (dot) com with a description of your lost bike.
Another resource is the lost and found area on our ePlaya. We have a great community, and you may well
find the owner of that missing bike you found, or be surprised to see your bike
posted looking for you.
