You submit your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed for an effective search.
We route your report to the right places
We alert the Cumberland Police Department, Town Hall, local animal control if applicable, and the relevant businesses or venues. We identify which offices accept third-party reports and file accordingly.
Your report stays active and searches for matches

Where to report and what to expect in Cumberland
Here's how each channel works, and where ReportLost can help you shortcut the process.
Cumberland Police Department
The Police Department accepts lost and found reports and holds property at their station. We file your report with them directly where third-party reports are accepted, and provide you with their contact details and submission process.
Cumberland Town Hall & Municipal Services
Town Hall at 290 Tuttle Road can direct you to the right department and may hold items found on municipal property. They're open Monday to Wednesday 8 am to 5 pm, Thursday 8 am to 6 pm, and closed Fridays.
School Transportation (SAD 51)
If you lost an item on a Cumberland school bus, contact the SAD 51 transportation department. We can provide you with their direct line and help you describe what to look for.
Regional Airports
If you flew out of the Portland Jetport or Bangor International Airport, both have dedicated lost and found services. Portland Jetport covers items left in the terminal or at security. Bangor accepts phone calls and online reports.

Lost Pet
If your cat or dog has gone missing, contact the Cumberland Police Department or local animal rescue groups immediately. H.A.R.T. Homeless Animal Rescue Team serves the area and works closely with animal control. Post in the local lost pet Facebook groups to maximize visibility.
Local Businesses & Venues
Items left in shops, restaurants, libraries, or other public places are held by those businesses. Check in person or call the specific location where you think you left your item. ReportLost can help you generate a clear description to use when you call.

Ready to file your report?
The sooner your report is in the system, the sooner it begins matching against found items in Cumberland and the surrounding region.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Cumberland can feel uncertain because recovery depends on which office or business has it. The Police Department keeps lost property, but so do shops, schools, and other local venues. Without a coordinated report, your item can fall through the cracks. ReportLost simplifies this by filing your loss with the right Cumberland offices and keeping your report working for you.
Once your report is filed, you're no longer on your own. The system continues to match your description against new found items, posts in local Facebook groups, and community notices for an entire year. If someone reports finding your passport, wallet, keys, or even a lost pet, we alert you so you can act immediately rather than checking dozens of places yourself.
