Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter for police, transit, and local networks in Brooklyn Park.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Anne Arundel County Police (Northern District covers Brooklyn Park), Maryland Transit Administration if a bus is involved, and local lost & found channels. You don't have to make five separate calls.
Your report keeps searching

Where to report and what happens next
Brooklyn Park lost items flow through several systems. Here's what to know about each, and how we take the legwork out.
Anne Arundel County Police (Northern District)
The Northern District Station covers Brooklyn Park. You can file a report in person or call non-emergency. Police hold lost property for a set period before disposal. We identify which precinct handles your location and draft the right information for your report, so you're not guessing about jurisdiction.
Maryland Transit Administration (MTA)
If you lost something on an MTA bus in the Anne Arundel County area, lost items are held for 30 days. You'll need a control number to schedule a pickup. We make sure your report reaches the right MTA division and includes the details they need to track your item.
BWI Airport Lost & Found
If your item was lost at Baltimore/Washington International Airport, a separate lost & found operation manages it. Hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, and you can call or email to inquire. We help ensure your report reaches BWI if travel was involved.
Lost or found a pet?
Anne Arundel County Animal Services maintains a lost pet listing and coordinates with local shelters and rescue networks.

Local shops, parks & community centers

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Starting your report takes less than five minutes
The sooner you file, the sooner your item can be matched and the sooner our search begins. Once it's in the system, you're done with the coordination part. We take it from there.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Brooklyn Park means navigating Anne Arundel County Police, Maryland Transit Administration if you left it on a bus, possibly BWI Airport lost & found if you traveled from there, and scattered community Facebook groups and Nextdoor posts. Each system moves at its own pace, holds items for different lengths of time, and doesn't automatically talk to the others. By the time you've contacted everyone, days have passed and the window narrows.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File once, and we immediately notify the right authorities and channels. More importantly, your report doesn't expire after one conversation. It stays active and keeps matching your lost item against new found items and posts for months, so you're not refreshing five websites daily or wondering if something turned up while you weren't looking.

Schools and nearby parks see lost keys, rings, and children's items. Report early if loss occurs near school hours, as inventory turns over quickly.

Questions about lost items in Brooklyn Park
How long does Anne Arundel County Police hold lost property?
Anne Arundel County Police holds lost items at their district stations for a set period before disposal or donation. Check with the Northern District directly for the current hold time, as it may vary. This is why reporting early is important.
If I lost something on an MTA bus, what's the process?
Call MTA Lost and Found at 410-333-2387 to file a report. Items are held for 30 days. If your item is found, you'll receive a control number and can schedule a pickup. MTA will need the bus route, approximate time, and a description.
I lost my wallet at BWI Airport. How do I claim it?
Contact BWI Lost & Found at 443-960-5424 (8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week) or email BWILostandFound@smartecarte.com. Have your flight info and a detailed description ready. Items are held for a reasonable period, but don't delay in calling.
Can I report directly to local stores or parks where I lost something?

How long does ReportLost keep my report active?
Your report stays active and keeps searching for 12 months, depending on your search period. During that time, we automatically cross-check new found items, posts, and marketplace listings against your report description. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears.

ReportLost is an independent service. We don't replace police reports or official lost & found channels. Instead, we coordinate your report across them and keep it active longer, so you're not managing the search alone. Official reports with Anne Arundel County Police or MTA are still essential for certain items and situations.
