The sooner you report, the better
Items move quickly, and the first few hours matter most. Filing your report early gives local authorities and community members a clear description to watch for. Once your report is filed, the hard part is done. From there, your signalement works for you around the clock.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Severna Park can feel scattered. Your item might end up with Anne Arundel County Police, at a local business, posted in a Facebook community group, or listed on a marketplace, all separate places with no connection between them. Searching each one manually day after day gets exhausting, and the longer you wait, the less likely you'll stumble onto the right post.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File once, and we immediately notify the police department, relevant local lost and found offices, and community channels in the Severna Park area. Better still, your report doesn't expire after a few days. It stays active and automatically cross-checks new community posts, marketplace listings, and shelter notices for a match, so you can breathe easier knowing the search is still happening even when you're not actively looking.

Anne Arundel County Police and most local businesses hold items for 30 to 90 days, depending on the office. MTA (buses) holds items for 30 days. We contact each place on your behalf to check status and timing, so you don't have to call each one separately.
Do I need to go in person to claim my item?
Yes, typically you'll need to visit the office or business with identification to claim your item. Once it's found and confirmed, they'll tell you the hours and location for pickup. We help coordinate that final step.
What if my item is found after I've reported it to the police?
That's why your report stays active. We automatically check new posts in community groups, marketplace listings, and shelter notices. If a matching item appears, we alert you immediately so you can claim it.
Can I file a report for something lost at BWI or another airport?
