How it works
You report the loss
Submit a brief description of what you lost, where, and when. We gather the key details needed to file with the right department or service.
We route your report to the right place
Depending on where you lost your item—police jurisdiction, town office, transit, or a local business—we file the report where accepted and provide you the exact steps to take if a direct follow-up is needed.
Your report keeps searching for you
For 12 months, your report stays active and automatically crosses incoming found items, local posts, and community alerts against your description. You'll be notified if a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every day.
Where lost items go in Hermon
The main places to report and reclaim, plus what ReportLost does on your behalf
Hermon Police Department
Items found on public streets, roadways, or in town are typically held by the Hermon Police Department. We'll identify which division covers your loss location and file the report where third-party filings are accepted.
Town Office
Lost items turned in by the public often reach the Hermon Town Office first, especially things found near public buildings or on town property. We can help you contact the right department and provide the specific details they'll need to search their records.
Local businesses and public venues
If you lost your item at a restaurant, retail store, gas station, or other local business, that establishment usually holds found items in their lost-and-found. Call the location directly to ask if anyone has turned it in. We'll generate the exact details to share so they can search efficiently.
Bangor International Airport
If your loss occurred at the airport, Bangor International offers a dedicated lost-and-found service. Items can be reported directly through their system, and we'll point you to the right contact method.

Post on Maine Lost Dog Recovery and other regional pet networks to expand your reach. For a coordinated search that stays active for a full year, file a priority lost pet report.

Ready to report your loss?
The sooner your report is filed, the sooner the search begins. Once it's in the system, you can step back and let the network work. Our team will route your loss to the right place and keep it active in the background.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Hermon can feel scattered when you're unsure where to look first. If you lost a phone, wallet, keys, passport, or piece of jewelry, the responsibility lands with whoever has it: the police if it was found on a public street, a business owner if it was left in their store, or the town office for items turned in to a public facility. The process means contacting multiple agencies separately, describing your loss each time, and hoping someone remembered to hold it.
ReportLost simplifies this. You describe your loss once, we identify the right local authority to contact, handle the filing where we can, and most importantly, your report stays active in the background for a full year. Rather than checking the Hermon Police Department or local lost-and-found pages every few days, our system continuously matches incoming found items against your description and alerts you if there's a likely match. It's one report that keeps working for you.
