How ReportLost works in Brunswick
You report your loss
Describe what you've lost, where, and when. We collect the details needed for a thorough search across local channels.
We connect with the right places
We route your report to the Brunswick Police Department, Brunswick Link, and relevant local venues. We tell you which offices have your report and what steps to take if you need to follow up directly.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and automatically cross-matches against new found item postings and community alerts. You'll be notified if a credible match appears, so you can focus on other things while we work in the background.
Where lost items are held in Brunswick
Each location maintains its own lost and found. ReportLost helps you reach them all without making separate calls.
Brunswick Police Department
The police hold items turned in by community members and recovered during patrols. We file reports with the department and provide you with their direct contact information and address so you can check on your item's status.
Brunswick Link Transit
Items left on Brunswick Link buses are stored at the transit office. We generate the exact information you need to report to them, and they maintain a searchable lost and found database for their services.
Shops, restaurants, and public venues
Businesses throughout downtown Brunswick, local restaurants, and gathering places keep lost items for a period before disposal. We suggest checking in person or calling venues where you were last seen with your item, as response times vary.
Brunswick Executive Airport
If you lost an item at the airport terminal or parking area, contact the airport directly. Items found at security checkpoints may also be held by TSA.
Lost pets
If your cat or dog is missing, contact Midcoast Humane or local animal control immediately. They maintain records of animals brought in and can alert you if yours arrives. The sooner you report, the sooner shelters can watch for your pet. File a priority lost pet report

Ready to file your report?
Once you submit, our team will contact the appropriate departments on your behalf and keep your report active for a full year. You can continue searching on your own, but you'll also have the benefit of automated matching across new found listings.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, watch, or set of keys in Brunswick can mean checking with multiple departments and browsing community pages repeatedly. The police, public transit, shops, and restaurants all keep their own records, and without a coordinated approach, items can sit unclaimed while owners search in circles. ReportLost simplifies this by filing your loss report across the relevant local channels at once, and maintaining an active search for the entire year.
Once your report is filed, you're no longer racing against time or refreshing social media every day. Your report automatically compares incoming found items and alerts with your description, matching them as they surface. Whether you've lost a passport, earrings, dog, or a bag, ReportLost handles the legwork so you can move forward with confidence.
