Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Skowhegan, whether it's a wallet on Water Street, eyeglasses at a local shop, or a piece of jewelry at a community event, means reaching out to several different places. The police handle lost property reports, the Somerset Humane Society tracks missing pets, and individual businesses keep their own lost and found.

More importantly, your report doesn't expire after a week or two. It stays active for a full year, continuously matching against new found items and posts in the Skowhegan area, so you can move forward with confidence that the search is ongoing behind the scenes.
