How to report a lost item
Contact local services first
Call Killingworth Police at 860-663-1132 to report your lost item and ask if it has been turned in. Check with the specific location where you lost it, area businesses, and public transit if applicable. The Connecticut State Police Lost and Found office can be reached at BIA.LostandFound@ct.gov if your item was lost at Bradley International Airport.

Consider a paid search option
Choose Automatic Search ($12) for 6 months of public web searching, or Team-Assisted Search ($25) for 12 months including manual research, direct contact with local services, and distribution to community groups. Both include an anonymous email address and QR code stickers linked to your report.
