How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter, so there's no back and forth with multiple offices.

Your report keeps searching
While you go about your day, your report stays active and continues matching against new found item listings, marketplace posts, and community announcements. You get an alert as soon as a credible match appears.
Where to report a lost item in Maitland
These are the main channels that hold and receive lost items in and around Maitland. ReportLost connects you to all of them at once.
Maitland Police Department
The Maitland Police Property and Evidence Section holds lost and found items recovered in the city. They can be reached directly, and we coordinate with them to ensure your report is logged and your item flagged if it arrives.
City Hall & Customer Services
The City of Maitland's customer services desk can direct you to specialized lost and found departments and help clarify where an item may have been taken. We know which department handles what, so you don't have to navigate the phone tree.

The sooner you report, the better
Once you've given us the details, you're done with the legwork. We make sure your lost wallet, ring, keys, or phone gets flagged at the right desks and posted where people are actively looking. Then your report continues searching for six to twelve months without you having to lift a finger.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Maitland sends you on a scavenger hunt across separate systems: the police property section, local lost and found offices scattered across town, Facebook community groups, and dozens of marketplace listings you'd have to check daily. Each place operates on its own schedule, and chances fade quickly if no one connects the dots between what you lost and what someone found.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report captures what you lost and where. We connect you with the Maitland Police Department's Property and Evidence Section, route your information to the right local channels, and keep your report actively searching for a match for months. You don't have to refresh pages or follow up with multiple offices; your signalement does the work while you focus on everything else.
