How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We collect the details that matter to the right authorities and local community.
We route your report
We file it with Baltimore County Police, MTA (if transit-related), or the relevant lost and found office. We also post to the community groups that locals actually check every day.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report automatically matches against new found items, community posts, and marketplace listings. You get alerts when a credible match appears, so you don't have to refresh ten different sites yourself.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the sooner we search.
The first hours and days are when found items are most likely to match with a lost report. Once your report is active with us, you can relax knowing it's being worked on continuously. You don't need to do the calling, the posting, or the daily checking.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Rosedale means navigating separate systems. Your wallet might end up at Baltimore County Police, your phone at MTA Lost and Found if you left it on the bus, your pet with Baltimore County Animal Services. Each has its own phone line, its own procedures, its own timeline. And meanwhile, community groups on Facebook and Reddit are filling with found items every day, but you'd have to check them manually for weeks.
ReportLost simplifies this. You make one report, and we connect it to all the right places: the police non-emergency line, transit lost and found, animal services, and the active local community channels where Rosedale residents post found items. Once your report is filed, it stays active, automatically matching against new posts and listings for the entire duration of your search. No daily checking required. Just peace of mind while we work behind the scenes.
