How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you've lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter and route your description to the relevant places in Concord.
We contact the right places
We file where the police or transit department accepts reports from outside parties, and we give you the exact steps to contact those that don't. Your report reaches the department that covers your area.
Your report stays active
We cross-reference your description against new found items, local marketplace posts, and community alerts. You receive an alert the moment a credible match appears, and you're never forced to search manually again.
Where lost items are kept in Concord
Each place in town that holds found property, and how to reach them.
Concord Police Department

Retail and public venues
Shops, restaurants, libraries, and other businesses in Concord keep found items at their front desks or customer service areas. We help you generate a clear description to ask about and suggest the most common places to contact first based on where you think you lost it.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Ready to file?
The sooner you submit your report, the sooner we begin the matching process. Once it's filed, our team takes it from there and notifies you if your item is found.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Concord, whether at a shop downtown, on a CVT bus, or in a public space, usually means contacting several different departments separately. The police hold lost items at their facility on Walden Street, transit has its own found property office, and each store or venue manages its own recovered belongings. If you don't know where you lost it, you end up calling multiple places.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos by taking one description and routing it to all the relevant places at once. Once your report is filed, you stop doing the legwork. Your description stays active for 12 months, automatically checked against newly found items and community posts, so lost property that turns up weeks or months later gets matched to you without you having to re-scan Facebook groups or call the police again.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Concord Police Department hold found items?
Check with the Concord Police Department directly at (978) 318-3400 about their retention period. Different items may be held for different lengths of time, and unclaimed property is eventually disposed of or donated.
Can I report a lost item directly to CVT, or do I have to pick it up in person?
Call CVT's transit office to report a lost item on a bus. Staff will check the bus and the lost and found, and let you know if they have it. Some items can be mailed if they confirm your belongings, so ask about that option.
What should I do if I lost my wallet or ID in downtown Concord?
File a report with ReportLost immediately, and we'll guide you to the police department. Call ahead to the Concord Police non-emergency line at (978) 318-3400 to ask if anything matching your description has been turned in. Check with any nearby businesses where you remember being that day.
How do I know if my pet is at a local animal shelter or rescue?
Contact your local animal control and check with nearby rescue organizations. Use platforms like PawBoost and Lost My Doggie to post your missing pet and search their databases. ReportLost will help you file a full pet report and keep it active for 12 months with alerts.
Can ReportLost file a report with the police on my behalf?
We file your report with the police and transit departments where they accept third-party reports, and we provide you with the exact contact information and steps for departments that require you to file directly. You remain in control of your report at all times.
Is ReportLost.org an official part of the Concord Police Department?
