Where things get lost in Auburn
And how to report to each channel
Auburn Police Department
The Auburn Police Lost Property division holds items turned in by residents and businesses. Items are typically held for a set period before disposal. We tell you which precinct handles your loss and what details to include in your report.
Auburn City Hall
Items lost at City Hall or around the downtown area can be reported through the City Clerk's office. We help you identify the right department contact and draft the report so you don't have to repeat yourself.
Public Transit (citylink)
Lost items on citylink buses are held at the central depot. We provide the exact contact info and details needed to file a found-item inquiry, and track your claim through their system.
Auburn-Lewiston Airport
If you left something at the Auburn-Lewiston Airport (LEW), the airport's lost and found holds items for a limited time. We make sure your report reaches them with all required details.
Shops & Public Spaces
Auburn's downtown retail district, restaurants, and parks are common loss hotspots. We help you identify which business to contact and provide a clear description of your item so they know what to look for.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a dog or cat, reach out to Auburn-Lewiston Animal Control or nearby shelters immediately. Community groups on Facebook are also active in reuniting pets with owners. For a faster, coordinated response across all local animal services, file a priority lost pet report.

The sooner you report, the sooner we find it
The first 24 to 48 hours after a loss are crucial, and having your report routed to all relevant channels right away dramatically increases your chances. Once you've filed your report with ReportLost, you can step back knowing that all the official and community channels are notified, and your search continues automatically.
Report my lost item →Auburn's downtown, shops, and public spaces see plenty of lost items every week. Whether you left something at Court Street, on a citylink bus, at the airport, or in a local business, the challenge is that lost-and-found systems are scattered across different departments and organizations. By the time you figure out where to call and what to say, your item could be cleared out or reshelved.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report covers all the channels that matter in Auburn, and your report doesn't stop working after you submit it. It stays active for months, automatically cross-checking against found items, community posts, and shelter records so that if your belongings turn up later, you'll know immediately without having to chase down leads yourself.
