"Call me if you find it" or "call me if you found it?"

Hi guys,

I have a simple question, but I'm not sure it's in the correct thread...

Should I write "call me if you find it" or "call me if you found it?"

Thanks!

Write either of these. You normally need a tense with a present point of view with an imperative, though you'll hear imperatives with the past as well on occasion.

Call me if you find it.
Call me if you have found it. (if you've found it.)
