Report my lost item →In Lewiston, lost items end up in scattered places: the police lost and found, city departments, the airport, transit, neighborhood groups, and local marketplaces. Tracking down the right office or scrolling through multiple community pages every day is exhausting and easy to miss.

We route your information to the Lewiston Police Department, City Hall, airport staff, and active community channels, while your report stays active in the background, automatically comparing against new found items and posts for months. Once filed, you can focus on the essentials while we keep searching.
