Where lost items go in Kennebunk
These are the main places to report and search
Kennebunk Police Department
The primary lost and found office in town. Items turned in to police, found on town property, or reported by residents are held here. We file your report with the police department and give you the exact contact info and hours so you can follow up if needed.
Local businesses and public spaces
Rings, wallets, glasses, and phones left at restaurants, shops, beaches, and town gathering spots are often kept by the business itself. Kennebunk Beach, Ogunquit Beach, and downtown retail stores are common places. We alert the relevant venues and provide you with a list of places to contact directly.
Rabbit Transit (local bus service)
If you left something on a Rabbit Transit bus, contact their customer service line. We make sure your report reaches them and give you the exact steps to check their system.
Portland International Jetport
The nearest airport is Portland, about 30 minutes away. Items left at the terminal or security checkpoint should be reported directly to the Jetport's lost and found office.
Lost or missing pets
If you've lost a dog or cat, contact the Animal Welfare Society first, then the Kennebunk Police Department animal control line. Report immediately to maximize the chances of recovery. File a priority lost pet report

Report my lost item →Kennebunk's main lost and found channel is the Kennebunk Police Department, but items also end up at local shops, restaurants, beaches, and the Animal Welfare Society if you've lost a pet. Figuring out which place has your belongings, and then following up with each one, takes time and energy when you're already stressed.
ReportLost simplifies this by filing a single report with the right department and keeping your item description active for a year. Instead of calling around repeatedly or scrolling through community posts, your report works for you in the background, automatically checking for matches while you focus on moving forward.
