Where to report lost items in Camden
Each channel handles different types of losses. ReportLost can file with the ones that accept third-party reports and point you to the right contact for others.
Camden Police Department
The police department is the primary contact for lost items in Camden. Items are held in their custody, and many types of property (wallets, keys, jewelry, documents) pass through their lost and found. We identify which office handles your location and file your report where accepted.
Shops, restaurants, and public venues
If you lost an item at a specific business, restaurant, or public location in Camden, that venue likely holds it in a back office. Call ahead to check availability before visiting. We generate the exact information (date, description, location) to include when you call.
Local transportation
If you left something on a bus or shuttle in the Camden area, contact the local transportation provider. Many services hold items for a limited time before disposal. Calling promptly increases the chance of recovery.
Nearby airports
If you lost an item at Bangor International Airport or Portland International Jetport during travel through Maine, each airport maintains a lost and found office. Submit a report through their website or call to check if your item has been located.

Report your lost item
The sooner you report, the sooner we can route your information to the right office and activate your 12-month search. Once filed, the tracking happens automatically.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Camden, whether at a harbor shop, restaurant, or on a local street, means contacting several separate places. The police department handles reports, businesses keep their own lost and found areas, and pets often end up with local animal services or rescue groups. Without a central system, many people never think to call the right office or forget to follow up.
ReportLost simplifies the process. One report reaches the agencies that matter in Camden, stays active for a full year, and automatically alerts you when a match is found. You won't have to spend weeks calling around or refreshing social media posts.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Camden Police Department hold lost items?
The police department holds items for a period determined by state law and local policy. Jewelry, documents, and valuable items are generally kept longer than everyday objects. Call the non-emergency line at 207-236-3030 to ask about a specific item.
Do I need to file a police report for a lost item in Camden?
A formal police report is typically filed only if theft is suspected or the item is valuable. For most lost property, you can contact the police department's non-emergency line to check their lost and found or ask which office to contact.
If I lost something at a restaurant or shop, should I call the police or the business?
Call the business first, since they hold items in their own lost and found. If the business can't help or it's been a long time, the police department may have received it as well. ReportLost generates the exact details to give either office.
What if I lost my ID or passport in Camden?
Contact the police department non-emergency line or visit in person at 29 Elm Street. Important documents are often turned in quickly and held with care. If lost at the airport, contact the airport's lost and found office directly.
How does ReportLost keep searching for my item for 12 months?
Once you file a report, your description stays in our system and is automatically matched against newly reported found items, social media posts in lost and found groups, and other community channels. If a credible match appears, we alert you immediately so you can follow up. You don't have to check back daily.
Is ReportLost official, or does it replace the police department?
ReportLost is an independent service that files your report with the appropriate local office (police, businesses, transit) and maintains an active search for 12 months. We work alongside official channels, not in place of them. The police department and local businesses remain the primary holders of lost property.
