Anne Arundel County Government
Anne Arundel County's central services can direct lost property reports to the right department and help you track claims. We make sure your report reaches the relevant desk.

Getting your report filed quickly improves your chances.
The sooner your item is logged, the sooner it can match with a found object. Once your report is live, your search team is activated, and the ongoing matching begins right away. You can focus on your day while we work behind the scenes.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Lake Shore, a waterfront community on the Chesapeake Bay, means reaching out to a fragmented network: Anne Arundel County Police, local businesses along Mountain Road, marinas, the Beach Road shops, and scattered community Facebook groups. Each has its own lost and found system, its own timeline, its own way of logging items. Tracking them all down and staying in touch takes time you don't have, especially if days pass with no sign of your wallet, ring, phone, or keys.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report, filed once, reaches all the right channels at Anne Arundel County Police and the places Lake Shore residents frequent. And unlike a single post or police report that fades from view, your report stays active for months, continuously comparing new found announcements against your description. You don't have to refresh Facebook groups or call the police station every week, we're quietly working in the background to reunite you with what you lost.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will Anne Arundel County Police hold a lost item?
Policies vary by precinct and item type. Call the non-emergency line at 410-222-8900 to ask about the specific location where your item was reported. We make sure your report is logged so the holding period starts right away.
What if I lost something on the MDOT MTA bus?
Items on the bus system are held for 30 days. Call the MTA Lost and Found at 410-454-7904 to schedule a pickup appointment if your item is found. We help you report it correctly to the system so it can be matched.
Can I search the Anne Arundel County Police lost and found online?
The police department doesn't maintain a public searchable inventory. Your best approach is to report the loss directly and let us amplify it across official channels and community groups simultaneously, plus keep it active for months.
If I lost a pet, how long will the shelter hold it?
Anne Arundel County Animal Services holds lost pets for at least 14 days on their Lost Pets listing. Call 410-222-8900 to ask about specific animals. Pets are reunited faster when reported immediately, which is why we prioritize lost pet reports.
What's the difference between filing a report with police and using ReportLost?
A police report logs your loss in their system, which is important and necessary. ReportLost takes that information and simultaneously connects you with local lost and found offices, community groups, and marketplaces in Lake Shore and Anne Arundel County, then keeps your report actively searching for 12 months without you having to check back constantly.
Is ReportLost.org affiliated with Anne Arundel County Police or the county?
ReportLost is an independent service. We work alongside official channels, not as a replacement for them. We file reports with police and relevant local services on your behalf, then extend your search into community spaces and automate the matching process so your report stays visible and active longer than any single report would on its own.
