How it works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter to police, local offices, and community groups.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Garrett County Police non-emergency, Friendsville Town Hall, transit services if applicable, and local lost & found channels. No back-and-forth, no guessing which office handles what.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and continues to match against new found item posts, community announcements, and local marketplace listings. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears.
Where your report goes
We connect you to every relevant local channel so nothing is missed.
Garrett County Police
Items lost in public spaces, on streets, or in town are often turned in to local police. We tell you which precinct or non-emergency line covers your loss location and ensure your report reaches them. For non-emergency reports, you can also call directly.
Friendsville Town Hall
Town offices, community centers, and municipal lost & found systems are often overlooked. We submit your report to the Town of Friendsville so it's logged in their system. You can also contact them directly if you prefer to follow up.
Transit & Ride Services
If you lost something on a bus or ride service, we point you to the right depot or company lost & found. Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) and ride services keep items for 30–90 days, so timing matters. We ensure your description reaches them promptly.
Regional Airports
BWI is the closest major airport to Friendly. If you lost something while traveling, the airport's lost & found holds items for a limited time. We help you report to the right airport terminal office.
Lost pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, time is critical. We connect you with Garrett County Animal Control, local shelters, and regional lost pet networks. Your pet report reaches multiple rescue groups at once, and your search stays active across Facebook groups, Nextdoor, and community pages. File a priority lost pet report to get the fastest response.

Every hour counts, but so does getting it right.
Filing a report early improves your chances, and once it's submitted, you can stop worrying about calling every office yourself. Let ReportLost keep your search active while you move forward.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Friendly means navigating separate police departments, town offices, transit lost & found counters, and scattered Facebook groups. Each system works independently, and by the time you've called everyone and checked every online channel, precious days have passed. ReportLost simplifies this: one report, one entry point, and the rest happens automatically.
The real benefit isn't just reporting faster, it's not having to remember to keep searching yourself. Once your report is submitted, our system continues to cross-reference new found items and community posts with your description for months. If someone finds your wallet, your ring, or your keys and posts it online or turns it in, you'll be notified. You can focus on your day knowing your search is still active in the background.

Questions about reporting a loss in Friendly
How long do police and town offices keep lost items?
Garrett County Police typically hold items for 30–90 days before disposal or donation. The Town of Friendsville may hold items longer depending on the location where they were found. Transit lost & found systems usually hold items for 30 days. The sooner you report, the sooner you can claim your item. ReportLost keeps your report active for 12 months so you're covered even after initial holding periods.
What if I lost something on a bus or ride service?
Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) buses have a dedicated lost & found system. Call MC311 (or 240-777-0311) to report your loss, and they'll direct you to the depot that served your route. Items are held for about 30 days. ReportLost ensures your report reaches MTA and keeps searching even if it doesn't show up in the first few days.
What should I include in my report?
Include a clear description (color, size, brand, any distinguishing marks), where you lost it (street, business, bus line), the date and approximate time, and your contact information. ReportLost generates the exact information officers and lost & found staff need, so they don't have to call you back for clarification.
How do I claim my item once it's found?
Once you're notified of a match, you'll receive instructions on how to claim your item from the office or individual who has it. Police non-emergency (via Garrett County), town hall, or the relevant transit depot will provide pickup details. ReportLost alerts you so you can act quickly before another person claims it.
Can ReportLost help with pets?
Absolutely. Lost pets need faster action than other items. We connect you with local animal control, shelters, and regional lost pet networks immediately, and your report stays active across community groups and Facebook pages. <a href="/report-lost-pet"><strong>File a lost pet report</strong></a> for priority routing.
Is ReportLost.org official? Does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that simplifies the reporting process for you. We're not affiliated with Garrett County Police, the Town of Friendsville, MTA, or other agencies, but we know exactly where each agency's lost & found system is and how to get your report in front of the right people. Filing through ReportLost doesn't replace a police report if a crime is involved, but for everyday lost items, we handle the legwork so you don't have to call multiple offices yourself.
