Your report goes straight to Prince George's County Police, relevant local businesses, and the community channels where people post found items in your area.
Your report keeps searching for a match

Where to report (and what we handle for you)
Silver Hill is part of Prince George's County, with several channels for lost items. Here's what each does, and how ReportLost speeds up the process.
Police Department (Non-Emergency)
Prince George's County Police handles loss reports and can access lost property databases. If you lost something in a police station, school, or public building, they may be holding it. We identify which report method fits your situation and generate the right details to include.
Shops & public places
If you lost your item at a store, restaurant, pharmacy, or gas station in Silver Hill, that business's lost and found is your first stop. We help you pinpoint which locations to contact and what information they'll need.
Baltimore/Washington airports
If you lost something while traveling through BWI Marshall or DCA, each airport has a dedicated lost and found office. We guide you to the right terminal counter and explain their claim process so you're not left guessing.
BWI Marshall Lost & Found|Reagan National (DCA) Lost & Found
Public transit (Maryland MTA)
Lost something on a bus? The Maryland Transit Administration maintains a centralized lost and found for statewide routes. We connect you with their system and walk you through pickup procedures.
Lost pet
If you've lost a cat or dog, time matters. Call Prince George's County Animal Services immediately at 301-780-7200 and visit their shelter. The community is your partner, too: lost pet groups on Facebook stay alert for sightings. For coordinated support that keeps your pet's information circulating for months, file a priority lost pet report.

Report sooner, recover faster
The first hours after a loss are crucial. The sooner you file a report, the sooner we can route it to the right channels and start matching it with found posts. Once it's in the system, your report works for you automatically while you focus on other things.
Report my lost item →Lose your wallet, ring, or phone in Silver Hill, and you're juggling calls to multiple offices: Prince George's County Police, the shops where you last had it, local Facebook groups, Nextdoor. Each has a separate lost and found system, different hours, and no guarantee your report will stay active for more than a few days. By the time you realize something's truly lost, the window for finding it has often closed.
ReportLost simplifies this. File one report, and we do the routing for you: to the police non-emergency line, to the places you've identified, and to the community channels where locals post found items. Unlike disconnected systems that process and forget, your report stays active for your entire search period, automatically checking for matches as new found items come in. You can breathe easy knowing someone's actively looking on your behalf.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between reporting to the police directly and using ReportLost?
You can absolutely report directly to Prince George's County Police at 301-352-1200 (non-emergency). ReportLost does the same filing, but also simultaneously routes your report to shops, transit, and community social channels, and keeps your report active and matching for 12 months instead of a few days. You get broader distribution and longer-term searching without juggling multiple contacts.
How long do businesses keep lost items?
Most local stores keep items for 30 to 90 days before donating or discarding them. This is why speed matters: call immediately, then file an active report. We help you contact the right places and keep checking as new found posts appear.
If I lost my pet, should I also file a general report?
If it's a cat or dog, call Prince George's County Animal Services first at 301-780-7200 and check their shelter in person. For maximum reach and continuous searching, file a priority lost pet report, which gets circulated to shelters, vets, and rescue networks. A general lost report alone won't reach animal specialists.
I think I saw my item in a Facebook group post. How do I claim it?
Comment on the post or message the person directly with proof of ownership (photos, serial number, etc.). If you've filed a report with ReportLost, we'll alert you to potential matches and help coordinate next steps. Moving quickly improves your chances.
Do I need to call back repeatedly to check if my item was found?
No. Once your report is active, you don't need to call back every day. Your report automatically checks new found posts and community listings for matches and alerts you when something credible appears. You can focus on your day knowing the search is running in the background.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost.org is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not as a replacement for them. We route your report to the police, local businesses, and community platforms where found items are posted. We don't handle recovered items, but we significantly improve your chances by automating the search across multiple channels for months.
