Report my lost item →Losing something in Greenwich, whether at home, on a bus, or at a local business, means contacting several separate departments and checking different channels repeatedly. The Greenwich Police Department handles items brought to police, CT Transit manages bus findings, and other venues keep their own lost and found systems. Without a single point to file, you risk overlooking the right place to call or missing your item because you didn't check back often enough.
ReportLost simplifies this by filing your report where it belongs, alerting the relevant services, and continuing to monitor for matches on your behalf. Once you submit your information, our team notifies the Police Department's Property Clerk, coordinates with transit services if needed, and keeps your report active so that if your item surfaces weeks or months later, you'll know about it without having to make daily follow-up calls.

Frequently asked questions about lost items in Greenwich
How long does the Greenwich Police hold unclaimed property?
Check with the Property Clerk at GPDPROPERTYCLERK@GREENWICHCT.GOV or 203-618-8865 for their current retention policy. Items may be held for several months, but it's best to file a report as soon as you realize something is missing so your claim is on record.
Where do I actually pick up my lost item once found?
If the Police Department locates it, they'll direct you to their office at 11 Bruce Place or another designated location. For bus items, CT Transit requires you to schedule an appointment (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.). For items at specific businesses, contact that business directly to arrange pickup.
What should I do if I lost something on a CT Transit bus?
Call CT Transit Customer Service to report the loss and confirm whether the item has been turned in. If found, you'll schedule an appointment at their office during weekday hours to collect it.
How does ReportLost help if I've already called police?
ReportLost files a formal report with the Police Department's Property Clerk system and coordinates with other relevant services (transit, venues) on your behalf. More importantly, your report stays active for 12 months, searching for matches in new found item listings and alerts, so you don't have to call back repeatedly or monitor social media yourself.
