Don't know about Europe but that has always been the norm here in the Land of the Free. Every store, school, large business, government building and police office has a lost and found bin and our people will go to great lengths to return found items to their owners. Our news media is filled with such stories. Sometimes they even purchase things like military medals or old personal letters from a reseller and do their own research to get the items back to the family, sometimes at great personal expense too.
I watched one example of this the other day. Group of Utah You-tubers recovered a speed boat that sank in Lake Mead 30 years earlier, hauled it back to their shop, cleaned and restored it to running condition and then located the original owners and gave it back to them. Another popular channel called Adventures with Purpose locates missing people and their vehicles from the bottom of lakes and rivers.
