How ReportLost works in Bangor
You report your loss
Fill out a quick form describing what you lost, where, and when. We generate all the details needed for each local channel, formatted the way they request it.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Bangor Police Department's lost and found office, Bangor International Airport if relevant, Community Connector transit, local shelters for pets, and the Facebook groups and community boards where Bangor residents actively post found items.

For your entire search period (12 months), we automatically cross-check new found item posts, marketplace listings, and local announcements against your description. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you can move forward without refreshing community boards every day.
Where to report a lost item in Bangor
A breakdown of local channels and how ReportLost connects you to them
Bangor Police Department Lost & Found
The city's central lost and found office handles items left in public spaces and received by police. We route your report directly to them and confirm it's been logged. Call them for urgent items or to check on a specific claim.
Bangor International Airport Lost & Found
If you left something at the terminal, during TSA screening, on a plane, or in a rental car area, the airport's lost and found office handles it. We provide them with your full details and help ensure your item doesn't get misplaced in their system.
Community Connector Bus (Transit)
Left your bag or phone on a Community Connector bus? The transit system has a dedicated lost and found office at 475 Maine Avenue. We tell you which route to contact and frame your report so they can search their inventory immediately.
Lost Pets
If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing, the Bangor Humane Society and Bangor Animal Shelter are the first places to report it and check. Time matters for pets, and we make sure your report reaches them fast and stays visible to rescue networks. File a priority lost pet report
City Hall & General Services
Some items end up with the city or local departments. Bangor City Hall can point you in the right direction if your item was left at a municipal building or park. We include them in our broader city notification to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report it, the better.
Items get misplaced or donated quickly. Reporting today means we can immediately start matching your loss against found item posts, social media alerts, and local marketplaces. And because your report stays active for months, you're covered even if the item takes weeks to resurface.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Bangor means contacting the police department, the airport if you left it there, the bus service, and then scanning Facebook groups and Nextdoor posts every few days hoping someone found it and posted it. Each channel operates separately, and there's no guarantee your lost item will surface where you think to look.
ReportLost takes the friction out of that process. Submit your loss once, and we notify the right offices, generate the exact information each service needs, and keep your report actively searching through new found item posts and community alerts for up to a year. Once you report it, you can breathe easy knowing the search continues on your behalf.

Found items can be collected at the Lost & Found office at 475 Maine Avenue, Bangor, ME, or at the Police Department at 240 Main Street during business hours. We'll include the exact location and hours in your report so you have it in writing.

Contact the airport's Lost & Found office at 207-992-4600 (weekdays, 8am–4pm). Items are held for a set period; we route your report to them immediately and help you follow up if needed.
How do I report a lost item on a Community Connector bus?
Call the transit office at 207-992-4670 right away. Items left on buses are collected daily but can be hard to track if not reported immediately. We notify them of your loss and provide a written record for your claim.
What happens if my pet goes missing?
Call the Bangor Humane Society (207-942-8902) or Bangor Animal Shelter (207-947-3205) immediately. We can file a priority lost pet report that reaches both shelters, local rescue networks, and Facebook pet groups instantly, keeping your pet visible for months.
