How can my friend claim his laptop and belongings taken during deportation from the airport?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I understand your concern regarding the belongings of your friend that were not returned during his deportation from Sharjah Airport. Below are the steps you can take to recover the items professionally and systematically:

1. Contact Sharjah Airport Lost and Found Office:

Sharjah Airport has a dedicated Lost and Found office that handles misplaced or unreturned items. You should:

- Visit the Facilities Department located on the first floor of the Departures Hall at Sharjah Airport.

- Fill out a baggage claim form, providing detailed information about the missing items (e.g., laptop brand, model, and other belongings).

- Bring supporting documents such as proof of ownership (receipts, warranty cards, or photos) and your identification.

Please note that items are typically stored for up to three months from the date of loss. Valuable items may be handled directly by the police desk at the airport.

2. Contact Sharjah Police:

For valuable belongings such as laptops, it is possible that Sharjah Police took custody of these items during the deportation process. You can contact Sharjah Police at [------------].

Provide them with all relevant details about your friend’s case and the missing belongings to inquire whether the items are in their possession.

3. File a Formal Complaint:

If the belongings cannot be retrieved through Lost and Found or police channels, you may need to escalate the matter:

- Submit a formal complaint to Sharjah Airport authorities regarding the incident. Include all relevant details, such as your friend’s deportation case number, flight details, and a list of missing items.

- If applicable, reach out to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) for assistance in resolving issues related to confiscated property during deportation.

4. Seek Legal Assistance:

If all other avenues fail to resolve the matter:

- Consult with a lawyer specializing in UAE property laws to explore legal options for recovering seized property.

- A legal representative can assist in filing a claim against the responsible authorities if necessary and ensure proper documentation is submitted for recovery purposes.

By following these steps promptly and maintaining clear communication with relevant authorities, you increase the likelihood of recovering your friend’s belongings. Ensure that all correspondence is documented for future reference.

Should you require further assistance or clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Best regards,

ABDUL WAHIED
