How it works
You file a report
Tell us what you've lost, where, and when. We collect the details we need to contact the right local services on your behalf.
We notify the relevant channels
We route your report to the Orange Police Department lost and found, local animal control if needed, and other places that handle recovered items in your area. We give you the exact steps to follow up directly too.
Your report stays active
For 12 months, your report continues to search for a match across recovered item listings and local alerts. You get notified if a credible match appears, so you don't have to monitor the web yourself.
Where to report lost items in Orange
The main channels for recovering lost property, and how ReportLost helps with each one.
Orange Police Department Lost and Found
The Police Department handles lost items reported on town property and in public areas. Items are retained for a standard period before disposal. We tell you which precinct covers your loss and provide the exact contact information and hours.
Town Hall and Town Services
Orange Town Hall maintains records of items found on municipal property and at town facilities. If you've lost something at a town event or public building, this is a good starting point. We can point you to the right department within town services.
CT Transit Bus Lost and Found
If you left something on a CTtransit bus serving Orange, the transit agency holds items for 15 days. You can call their lost and found line or file a report online. We provide you with the exact process and contact information.
Bradley International Airport
If you lost an item at Bradley Airport, which serves the region, contact the airport's lost and found or CT State Police, Troop H. Items are held for a limited time. We generate the information you need to file directly with the airport.
Local Shops, Restaurants, and Venues
Items left in stores, cafes, and entertainment venues are typically held at the location's front desk or office. We help you generate a description and contact information for the specific place where you lost your item, and remind you to follow up within days before items may be discarded.
Lost or Found Pets
If you've lost a cat or dog, contact local animal control, check nearby shelters, and post on dedicated pet networks. File a priority lost pet report to reach animal services and pet communities.

Ready to report your lost item?
File your report and we can start notifying the right departments and keeping your report active. Once it's in, we handle the coordination so you can focus on your day.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Orange means contacting multiple places: the Police Department, local shops or restaurants where you left it, and perhaps animal control if it's a pet. Each service holds items for a limited time, and tracking all of them separately is exhausting when you're already stressed.
ReportLost streamlines that process. You file once, we notify the departments and venues that accept third-party reports, and your report stays active for a full year, cross-checking new recovered items and alerts automatically. Once you've filed, the search continues even when you're not actively looking.
