How ReportLost works in Falmouth
You report the loss
Fill out a brief description of your lost item, where you lost it, and how to reach you. We gather the essential details that matter to recovery.
We route it to the right places
We file your report with the Falmouth Police Department's lost property system where they accept reports, notify local venues or transit services involved, and post a public alert. You receive the exact steps and contact info you need for each office.
Your report keeps searching
For the next 12 months, your report stays active and automatically searches for matches against new found items reported locally, in community groups, and on local marketplaces. You're alerted as soon as a credible match emerges, so you don't have to check multiple sites every day.
Where lost items are handled in Falmouth
Each channel below accepts reports directly. ReportLost files where accepted and provides contact info and links for the rest.
Falmouth Police Department
The Police Department holds found property reported by residents or discovered in public places. We tell you how to file a report with them and track your claim. For items found at town facilities or on Falmouth roads, police is your first contact.
Greater Portland Metro (Bus Transit)
If you left an item on a Greater Portland Metro bus, the transit service maintains a lost and found. We can help you file the report and provide you with the right contact and form to use.
Portland Jetport
Lost something at Portland Jetport or during airport transit? The terminal operates its own lost and found, including items left at TSA checkpoints. We guide you to the right form and contact at the airport.
Lost or Found Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in or around Falmouth, your first step is to contact the Animal Control Officer through the Police Department. They coordinate with local shelters and can help reunite you with your animal. We also make it simple to post an alert across lost-pet networks.
Falmouth Town Hall and Community Venues
Items left at town facilities, local businesses, or community centers in Falmouth are often held on-site. We help identify which business or venue is relevant to where you lost your item and provide you with direct contact information.

Ready to search for your lost item?
Once you file a report with ReportLost, we'll connect you with the right Falmouth office and keep searching for 12 months. The sooner you report, the sooner the search begins.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Falmouth means navigating separate systems: the Police Department handles property found in public spaces or turned in by residents, the Greater Portland Metro manages bus lost and found, Portland Jetport covers airport losses, and individual shops and restaurants keep their own. Without a central clearing house, tracking down your item means calling around and hoping it reached the right desk.
ReportLost takes on that coordination. You file once, and we make sure the Falmouth Police, transit, and relevant venues are aware of what you've lost. More important, your report keeps working for you for a full year. Community members, found-item alerts, and online posts across Falmouth are cross-checked against your description automatically, so you're notified the moment a match shows up instead of doing the legwork yourself each day.
