Where lost items turn up in Woodlawn
From police to transit to neighborhood networks, here's who holds what and how ReportLost gets your report in front of them.
Baltimore County Police, Precinct 2 (Woodlawn)
Lost property reported in the Woodlawn area is logged with the Baltimore County Police. Items are held and matched against reports. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and draft the exact information to include in your report.
Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) Lost & Found

BWI Airport Lost & Found
If your loss occurred during travel through Baltimore/Washington International Airport, the airport's dedicated lost and found team manages recovery. We ensure your details are submitted directly to their office with all necessary specifics.
Public places and institutions
Lost items from schools, hospitals, libraries, or community facilities are often held at those locations' front desks or security offices. We help you identify where your loss occurred and the right contact there.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Getting ahead matters
The sooner you report, the sooner our system starts cross-referencing new found items and community alerts with your report. Every day counts, and once your report is filed, the hard part is done. Our team takes it from there.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Woodlawn can feel scattered. Between the Baltimore County Police Precinct 2, Maryland Transit Administration (if it happened on a bus), local hospitals, schools, or Security Square Mall, the lost item could turn up anywhere, and contacting each office separately takes time and energy.
ReportLost streamlines the entire process. File once, and we make sure every relevant local agency and community channel knows about your loss. More importantly, your report stays active in the background for months, continuously matching against new found items, so you can stop worrying and move forward. The search continues whether you're checking daily or not.
