Your report, working for you
Once filed, your report is in motion. Rather than calling the police, CT Transit, and the shelter yourself week after week, let your report do the searching. We keep track of where it went, update you on any matches, and continue looking for a full year.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Trumbull means contacting several different offices: the police department on Edison Road for items lost around town, CT Transit if it was left on a bus, Bradley Airport for travel items, and the animal shelter if your pet is missing. Each has its own system, contact number, and holding period. The process can feel fragmented when you're already worried about your loss.
