How ReportLost works in Windsor
You file your report
Complete a single form describing your lost item, the date, and where you last had it. We collect the details you'll need for any local inquiry.
We route it to the right department
We identify which Windsor service handles that type of loss and file your report where they accept third-party notifications. We provide you with the exact department, contact information, and next steps.
Your report keeps searching
For the next 12 months, your report stays active and automatically matches against new found items, police recovered property, and community posts. You'll be alerted if a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to check multiple channels every day.
Where lost property is held in Windsor
Windsor uses multiple services for lost and found. Here's where items typically end up and how to follow up.
Windsor Police Department
Items turned in to the Police Department are held for safekeeping. You can contact Officer Amaro or call the main line with details of your lost item. We identify which officer or desk handles your loss and provide the exact steps to claim your property.
CT Transit Lost & Found
If you left an item on a CT Transit bus, the lost and found team retrieves items within a few days. Call their Lost & Found line during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.) and describe what you lost. We help you prepare the right details and confirm the current status of your claim.
Bradley Airport Lost & Found
Bradley International Airport is 15 minutes from Windsor. Lost items at the airport are managed by CT State Police and the TSA, each handling different zones. Call the airport's Lost & Found line, and we'll clarify which desk covers your loss location and how to describe your item for the fastest recovery.
Local businesses and venues
Items left at shops, restaurants, offices, or other public spaces in Windsor are typically held at the location itself. Calling the specific business within a day or two of your loss gives you the best chance of recovery before items are discarded or donated. We generate the exact information to include when you reach out to a specific venue.
Lost Pet Report
If you've lost a cat or dog, Windsor Animal Control and local shelters use a separate process. They maintain records of stray animals and work with community networks to reunite pets with their owners. Time matters more with animals, so connect with Animal Control right away.

Your report is just the beginning
Once you file with ReportLost, we handle the initial routing and follow-up prompts. The burden of checking back repeatedly is lifted, because your description stays in the system and continues to cross-reference new found items and community posts automatically.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Windsor, Connecticut can mean navigating separate systems. Your passport or watch might end up with Police, your wallet could be turned in at a local business, and items left on a CT Transit bus are held separately. Without a central report, you're left contacting each service individually and hoping someone finds what you lost before they move or discard it.
ReportLost streamlines that process. One form, one submission, and we ensure your loss reaches the right departments. More importantly, your report doesn't stop working after one day. It stays active and continues to match against recovered items, lost-and-found postings, and community notices for a full year, giving you far better odds of reconnection without requiring you to revisit the same channels repeatedly.
