Report my lost item →Losing something in Stonington, whether it's a wallet, phone, watch, or cherished ring, means checking in with several places: the Police Department, CTtransit if it was on a bus, the local business where you think you left it. Each has its own process, its own timeline, and its own records. If you reach out early, an officer or service worker will log it faster, but piecing it together yourself is time-consuming and easy to botch.
