The sooner your report is on file, the sooner the search begins. Describe what you lost, and we'll make sure the right people in Windham know about it.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Windham can feel frustrating. Whether it's a wallet, keys, glasses, a piece of jewelry, or your dog, the item often stays lost because there's no single place to report it or to check all the services that might have it. The police department, town offices, and animal control each handle their own lost and found, and searching across all of them takes time.
ReportLost simplifies the process. Make one report, and we file it with the Windham Police Department or the appropriate town service. More importantly, your report doesn't stop working once it's filed. It stays active for 12 months, automatically matching new found items and community posts against your description, so you can focus on your day while the search continues in the background.
