One report. Everywhere at once.
The sooner you report a loss, the sooner we can start searching and notifying the right people. Once you've filed your report, the team takes it from there and your automated monitoring begins immediately.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Salisbury means juggling calls to the police, checking Shore Transit's lost and found office, contacting the airport if needed, posting on Facebook, and refreshing those groups for weeks hoping someone posts a 'found' notice. It's scattered, time-consuming, and easy to miss a match buried in a thread. ReportLost collapses that chaos into one submission and then does the monitoring for you.
Instead of staying tethered to your phone and social feeds, you file a report once and let our automated web surveillance work around the clock. We cross-reference descriptions, location, and date with every 'found' post and alert that surfaces, so you don't have to. Once you've submitted, you can breathe easy knowing the relevant local offices have been notified and the search is underway.

Shops, restaurants, sidewalks, and parking areas around Main Street and division Street are common loss zones. Local businesses often hold items briefly before turning them in to police.

Student-heavy area where backpacks, phones, keys, and laptops go missing daily. Campus security holds items and post in community groups, but our monitoring catches posts faster than checking multiple channels.

Items left on trails, picnic areas, and along the water are sometimes turned in to park staff or reported on local Facebook groups. We watch both official channels and community posts.

The Salisbury Transit Center, major parking lots, and shopping areas see frequent losses. Shore Transit and local businesses hold found items, and we connect you to all of them.

Is ReportLost.org an official Salisbury city service?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official police departments, transit authorities, and local agencies. We are not part of the Salisbury Police Department or any government agency. What we do is consolidate your report, deliver it to the right official channels, and run continuous automated monitoring of public web content for matching found posts so you don't have to refresh multiple sites every day. You can always report directly to any local agency yourself, but ReportLost handles the legwork of tracking and alerts.
