Where items go in Hagerstown
Here's what happens to lost property in our city, and how ReportLost connects you to each channel.
Hagerstown Police Department
The police handle lost-property reports through their online filing system and in-person intake. You can file directly, but we generate the exact information they need and make sure your report lands with the right officer. Call (301) 790-3700 or visit their office at 50 N Burhans Blvd Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM.
City Hall and General Services
Items left in public spaces and municipal buildings often end up logged with the city. We know which department to contact and what info to provide. Reach the City of Hagerstown directly at (301) 739-8577, 1 E. Franklin St., Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4:30 PM.
Washington County Transit
Lost something on a local bus? Items are held at the dispatch office. You can call directly, but we'll get you the right contact and extension. Phone (240) 313-2750 Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, or visit the transit office during business hours.
Hagerstown Regional Airport
If your loss happened near or at HGR, the airport has its own lost-and-found system. We can direct you or handle the inquiry. Call (240) 313-2777 Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, the Humane Society of Washington County is your first call. They hold strays, post sightings, and connect owners with finders.

Don't navigate this alone
Every moment counts after a loss, but so does reaching the right people. Filing your report now sets the automated search in motion, and our team makes sure the police, transit, and city services all get the word. You'll feel the difference immediately.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Hagerstown can feel like a maze. You don't know whether to call the police, check the transit authority, search local Facebook groups, or contact each business separately. The system isn't designed to talk to itself, and neither is it designed for someone outside it to navigate it easily. Meanwhile, time passes and your item moves further away.
ReportLost simplifies this. Submit one report and we take on the legwork: notifying the police department, checking with city services and transit lost-and-founds, and most importantly, watching the web for your item every day. Our automated system scans community channels, resale sites, and shelter listings continuously, so you can stop refreshing pages and simply wait for a match alert. Once the report is in, you can breathe.
