Where to report a lost item in Bedford
These are the official channels. ReportLost files where accepted and alerts them on your behalf.
Bedford Police Department
Items found in town or lost in public spaces are handled by Bedford Police. You can file a report directly, and we'll file one as well where they accept third-party reports. Non-emergency line: (603) 472-5113.
COAST Bus Lost and Found

Your search doesn't stop after you report
Once your report is live, ReportLost matches your lost item against new found items posted by other people, shelter updates, and community posts across 12 months. You get an alert the moment a potential match appears. That means you don't have to refresh Facebook groups, call the shelter every morning, or check Craigslist repeatedly.
Report my lost item →Losing an item in Bedford means contacting several different places: the Police Department for items found in town, COAST Bus if you lost something on transit, the Animal Rescue League for lost pets, Manchester airport if you traveled through there. Each has its own process, phone number, and hours. Without a central place to report, items can fall through the cracks, and you end up repeating your story and your search across multiple platforms.
ReportLost simplifies that. File once, and your report automatically reaches the right departments in Bedford and is shared with local community groups and lost and found networks. Once you've reported, the work continues in the background for a full year, scanning new posts and messages for matches, so you can focus on other things while your report searches for you.
