Lost property is handled by the police
As a rule, Danish municipalities do not run lost property offices. If you have lost or found something, the police handle it — and Esbjerg Kommune is covered by Syd- og Sønderjyllands Politi.

The police's own pages are available in Danish only.
Passports, driving licences and health cards are not lost property. Replacements are issued by Borgerservice (citizen service) at Esbjerg Kommune.
The 30-day rule
The law guarantees you at least 30 days.
After that, the venue may legally sell, give away, discard, or keep the item.
Money, valuable jewellery, electronics, and expensive clothing must always be handed to the police — regardless of which venue found them.
