Where to report a lost item in Ocean Pines
These are the official channels. ReportLost handles notifying most of them for you.
Ocean Pines Police Department
The primary place to report lost items in town. Their non-emergency line connects you to property officers who log lost and found reports. We tell you which contact method works best and confirm your report reaches the right desk.
Ocean Pines Administration
The community's administrative hub manages common areas and can log reports of items found in parks, playgrounds, and public spaces. We ensure your report reaches the right department within the administration office.
Ocean City Beach Bus
If you lost an item on the shuttle, the lost and found is managed through Ocean City's public works. We'll point you to the exact contact and let them know what to watch for.
Lost pets
Cats and dogs lost in Ocean Pines should be reported to the Worcester County Humane Society, which maintains a database of missing and found animals and works directly with local shelters. We generate the exact information they need and monitor pet networks on your behalf, so you can file a priority lost pet report.

The sooner you report, the faster your search begins.
Every hour matters in the first week, especially for pets and wallets. ReportLost lets you file in under two minutes, and the moment you submit, your report is live across multiple channels. No phone trees, no repeating yourself.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Ocean Pines means juggling multiple channels, from the police department on Ocean Parkway to the local humane society, Facebook community groups, and scattered lost and found listings across town. Most people end up repeating the same description to ten different places, or worse, they give up after checking a few obvious spots.
ReportLost bridges that gap with a single, unified report. Once you file, we notify the right authorities and organizations, and your report remains active in the background, continuously comparing new found items and community posts against your description. You get peace of mind knowing the search continues on your behalf, while you move on with your day.
