Report my lost item →Losing something around Lake Pocotopaug, whether it's a wallet at the waterfront, a ring at a local restaurant, or a beloved pet near the shore, means reaching out to multiple places, each with its own phone line, office hours, and system. The East Hampton Police Department, Animal Control, transit services, and community groups all hold pieces of the puzzle, but you'd normally need to call each one separately, wait on hold, and check back repeatedly.
ReportLost simplifies that process. File one report with us, and we instantly connect you to East Hampton Police, local animal control, and the right community channels. Better yet, your report doesn't stop working after you file it, your report stays active across the entire search period, continuously matching new found items against your description so you're not refreshing Facebook groups and local pages every day hoping for a lead.
