How ReportLost Works
You Report Your Loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We generate the exact details needed for local authorities and lost and found offices across Frostburg.
We Route It to the Right Places
Your report goes directly to the Frostburg City Police Department, campus security at both universities, transit services, and key community channels in your area. No need to call around yourself.

For 12 months, your report automatically checks for matches across lost and found listings, community posts, and online marketplaces. You'll get an alert if something credible comes up, so you don't have to check every day.

A complete breakdown of every local channel, and how ReportLost connects you to all of them at once.

Ready to Start Your Search?
The sooner you file a report, the sooner your item is actively being matched across all channels. Most recoveries happen in the first few weeks, so getting your information out there matters. Once your report is filed, the work continues for months on your behalf.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Frostburg can feel overwhelming. Between the City Police Department, university lost and found offices, local businesses, and community groups on Facebook, there's no single place to report and monitor your search. Many people end up making multiple calls, posting in several places, and checking back constantly, hoping something turns up.
ReportLost simplifies that. File one report with us, and we make sure the right people know about your loss, alerting the police, campus security, transit services, and local networks. What sets us apart is that your report stays active, automatically matching against new posts and listings for months, so you can focus on other things while we work for you.

Another significant campus with a dedicated lost and found office in the College Center. Campus Safety can quickly check their inventory once alerted by ReportLost.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the process for claiming a lost item from Frostburg City Police?
Call the Frostburg City Police Department at 301-689-3000 with details about your item. They'll confirm if it's in their inventory and ask you to come in person to identify and claim it. Be ready to describe distinctive features (brand, color, contents, serial numbers if applicable).
How long do the police and local businesses hold onto lost items?
Policies vary by location. The City Police typically hold items for 30 to 90 days before disposal, while campus lost and found offices may hold items for a similar period. Check with the specific location for exact timelines, and report quickly to maximize your chances.
If I lose something on campus, should I contact the police or the university?
Contact your campus lost and found first. Frostburg State University Police and Allegany College Campus Safety both manage dedicated lost and found offices and are often faster than city police for campus recoveries. ReportLost ensures both are notified regardless.
What if my lost item ended up on a bus?
Call Allegany County Transit at 301-722-6360 and describe your item. You can pick it up at their office during posted hours (typically Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Have your bus route and the approximate date ready.
How does ReportLost.org work compared to calling the police myself?
ReportLost does the legwork for you: we format your report, route it to the right authorities in Frostburg (police, campus security, transit, local businesses), and post it to community channels. Critically, your report stays active for 12 months, continuously scanning for matches across lost and found listings and online sources, so you don't have to check back manually every week.
Is ReportLost.org an official city or police service?
No, ReportLost is an independent service. We are not affiliated with the City of Frostburg, the police department, or either university. We work alongside official channels to amplify your report and manage the ongoing search on your behalf, but filing with us does not replace calling 911 for theft or calling the police directly. We complement those efforts and bridge the gap between multiple local services.
