How ReportLost Works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to alert the right places in St. Mary's County and beyond.
We route it to every channel

Don't navigate multiple systems alone.
Submitting your report today means the county, shelters, and transit services are alerted within hours. Once your report is filed, you can focus on your day while the search continues automatically.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Wildewood, whether it's a purse at the store, a ring at a community event, or a beloved dog, means contacting multiple places: the Sheriff's Office, animal shelters, transit services if you used the local bus. Each system operates independently, and each one takes time to reach. ReportLost consolidates that entire process into a single action.
After you report, your description stays active and continuously searches through matching channels for months. You won't have to manually visit each office, refresh social media, or call back repeatedly. The right people are notified once, and your report works for you around the clock.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office keep a lost property report?
Reports are typically held and investigated while items remain active in county systems. Check with the Sheriff's Office directly at the contact number for specific retention policies.
What happens if my lost item is turned in to St. Mary's County Animal Shelter?
Items (and found pets) are logged and held. You can visit in person or call (301) 475-4200 to check if your item has been brought in. ReportLost ensures your description reaches them immediately so they know what to look for.
How long does the Maryland Transit Administration hold lost bus items?
Items are held for 30 days. If you believe you left something on a St. Mary's County transit bus, call (301) 475-4200 ext. 1120 or contact the MTA Lost & Found at 410-333-2387 to report it before the 30-day window closes.
Can I report a loss if I'm not sure exactly where I lost it?
Yes. Provide as much detail as you can, and we'll generate a description for all relevant channels. Describe the last known location, the time of day, and any identifying marks. Broader reports still reach social networks and community groups where others may have seen your item.
What if my pet is microchipped? Does ReportLost check microchip registries?
Microchip companies and shelters maintain their own registries. ReportLost ensures your pet is reported to St. Mary's County Animal Shelter and posts on active lost pet groups, but also register your pet's microchip directly with the microchip company and check their database immediately.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not a government agency. We streamline the reporting process by routing your information to the correct official channels (Sheriff's Office, animal control, transit, etc.) and keeping your report active in community networks. Filing with ReportLost supplements and accelerates official reporting, but you can always contact the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office directly at (301) 475-4200.
