Property - something which is owned
Lost - Past & P.P. LOSE - be deprived of

If I have lost something, how can I still claim to own that thing?

Maybe this is why I have never managed to reclaim anything I have lost from Lost Property offices, as it now belongs to the Lost Property office and is no longer mine to reclaim?
