The New York City Police Department announced today the creation of the World Trade Center Jewelry Recovery website to facilitate return of jewelry items.
There are approximately 650 pieces of jewelry that remain unclaimed.
These pieces include watches and wedding rings. Claims for jewelry will be accepted by the New York City Police Department Property Clerk Division starting on December 1, 2004 and ending on or about May 31, 2005.
If a possible match is revealed, the claimant will be contacted to provide further documentation of proof of ownership such as receipts, pictures, appraisals, etc.
In addition, interested parties may inquire about property other than jewelry by writing to the Manhattan Property Clerk describing that property and naming the owner of the property. The NYPD will respond to your inquiry as expeditiously as possible.
