Where Your Lost Item Might Be
And how to report directly, or let ReportLost handle it for you
Montgomery County Police
The primary law enforcement agency for Kemp Mill. They maintain lost and found records for items turned in at police facilities and community locations. When you file through ReportLost, we ensure your report reaches the correct precinct covering your loss location.
Transit Lost and Found
If you left something on a Ride Montgomery bus or other county transit, the system has a dedicated lost and found. Items are typically held for 30 days. ReportLost identifies which transit system applies and submits your report directly, saving you the back-and-forth.
BWI Airport
If your loss occurred at BWI Marshall Airport (about 30 minutes south), their Lost and Found operates seven days a week. Items are logged and searchable. ReportLost can point you to the right department and ensure your details are filed correctly.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Kemp Mill, Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center is your immediate contact. They hold lost animals and work with microchip registries and rescue networks. Time is critical with pets, so file a priority lost pet report with us right away.

Questions About Lost Items in Kemp Mill
How long do the police keep lost and found items?
Montgomery County Police typically hold items for 30 to 90 days, depending on the precinct. After that, unclaimed items may be disposed of or auctioned. This is why filing early and keeping your report active matters, so we can alert you if your item is spotted during that window.
What if I lost something on a Ride Montgomery bus?
Contact MC311 Customer Service at 311 (or 240-777-0311, Monday–Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.) to report the loss. Items on buses are held for 30 days. ReportLost can file this report for you and track it automatically over the full search period.
My pet is missing in Kemp Mill. What do I do first?
Call Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center at 240-773-5900 right away (they're located in Derwood). File a lost pet report and visit in person if possible. Then file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to amplify the search across community channels and shelters. Maryland's stray hold is only 72 hours, so speed is critical.
Are my lost items checked at BWI or other airports?
If your loss happened at an airport terminal, call BWI Lost and Found at 443-960-5424 (8 a.m.–8 p.m., seven days a week). For Reagan National (DCA) or Dulles, those airports have separate systems. ReportLost can help route your report to the right airport.
How do I know if my item was found and turned in?
You'd normally have to call police, transit, and local businesses yourself, checking each one. With ReportLost, you file once, and we notify you the moment a match appears in any of those channels—you don't have to monitor them daily.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service; we're not part of Montgomery County Police or any government agency. We don't replace a police report, but we complement it. When you file with us, we route your details to the right police precinct and local channels so your report reaches more places at once. You can file a police report directly if you prefer, but using ReportLost ensures your loss also enters community networks and stays searchable for months.
