How it works
You report your loss
Describe what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to route your report to the right department or business.
We connect you with the right channels
We file where the Freeport Police Department accepts third-party reports, contact transit services if needed, and direct you to other locations. You get the exact contacts and steps.
Your report stays active and searches for you
For 12 months, your report keeps working. We cross-reference new found items, local posts, and listings with your description. You get an alert if a credible match appears, so you're not manually checking every day.
Where to report in Freeport
Each option below is a step you can take directly. ReportLost does the legwork of knowing who to contact and what to tell them.
Freeport Police Department
The police department accepts reports of lost property found within town limits. Items are held and cross-referenced with incoming reports. We tell you exactly which precinct or desk handles your type of loss and confirm where your report is filed.
Greater Portland Metro (bus transit)
If you left something on a Greater Portland Metro bus or at a transit facility, the lost and found can be reached directly. We help you provide the exact route, time, and item description needed to speed up recovery.
Local shops and public places
Items left at restaurants, retail stores, or recreation areas on Main Street or elsewhere in town are typically held at the business itself. We generate a checklist of common locations to contact based on where you lost your item, so you know who to call first.
Lost pets
If your dog or cat has gone missing, Midcoast Humane and Animal Refuge League in nearby areas are key contacts. They maintain databases and receive reports from the community. We can help ensure your pet is listed and monitored across the right network. File a priority lost pet report.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Freeport, whether it's a wallet at a downtown shop, glasses left on a bus headed to Portland, or a piece of jewelry while walking on Main Street, means reaching out to several different places. The police department keeps lost items found in town, Greater Portland Metro handles bus routes through the area, and local businesses keep what's turned in at their counters. Coordinating across all of them takes time.

Then your report stays live and automatically checks incoming found items and community posts against your description for a full year. Once you've filed, you can step back; we keep looking while you move forward.
