Between 5 and 50 € depending on whether you'll pick it up yourself or let them send it to you.

Also things that are apparently worth less than 15 € aren't shipped to the central lost&found.

> The audience booed the Netflix logo, which appeared before the film started, and it then became clear the film was playing in the wrong aspect ratio.
