Although having a lost item returned requires you to rely on a good samaritan, the pick up location of iLost is very accessible and the website is easy to navigate. The service covers several areas of the Netherlands and if only visiting, iLost provides a mailing service in case you have already left the country before your lost item appears. My only recommendation to the service is advertisement of iLost as even having lived in Amsterdam for 2 years already I was unaware that this service existed and I believe many found items never end up getting collected as many people don't know of this lost and found service.
