How ReportLost works in Lansdowne
You describe what you lost
Fill out a simple form with details about your item, where you lost it in Lansdowne, and how to reach you. We ask for just the information that matters most: what it looks like, where you left it, and when.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Baltimore County Police (the jurisdiction covering Lansdowne), the Maryland Transit Administration if it was lost on a bus, local lost pet services if it's an animal, and we alert local social channels. One submission, multiple channels, all at once.
Your report keeps searching
While you go about your day, your report stays active and continues matching against new lost and found posts, marketplace listings, and shelter updates across the region. If a credible match appears, you get an alert. No need to scour Facebook groups or Nextdoor daily, your report does that work for you.

The sooner you report, the better
Items move quickly. A wallet picked up at a bus stop might be handed to police within hours. A lost ring found in a shop may be cleared out at the end of the week. The earlier your report is filed and distributed, the more likely it reaches the right hands at the right time. Once submitted, you can breathe, your report takes over.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Lansdowne means reaching out to separate places: Baltimore County Police for theft or damage, Maryland Transit Administration if it was on the bus, social media groups if you want community help, and shelters if it's a pet. Each has its own process, hours, and phone numbers. By the time you've called everyone, precious time has passed.
ReportLost simplifies that. One form connects you to all the right channels at once, and your report keeps working for you around the clock, automatically cross-checking new posts and listings for matches throughout your entire search period. It's the shortcut that saves you time and stress.
