How it works
You file your report
Submit the details of what you lost—a ring, passport, keys, phone, or other item—along with when and where you last had it. Include a clear description and any identifying marks.
We route it to the right places
Our team notifies the Farmington Police Department, Town Hall, and other relevant locations where your item is most likely to have been turned in. We generate the specific contact info and details you need for each channel.
Your report stays active
You don't have to check back repeatedly. Your report keeps searching for matches with new found items, online listings, and community alerts. We alert you if a potential match surfaces.
Where to report a lost item
In Farmington, different venues and services handle their own lost and found. Here's what to expect and how ReportLost supports your search.
Farmington Police Department
The Police Department at 160 Main Street maintains a lost and found for items turned in by officers or the public. The front office is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 3:30 pm. For reports after hours, call the dispatch line and an officer will follow up.
Town Hall and Municipal Offices
Town Hall at 356 Main Street is open weekdays 9 am to 5:30 pm. Items found on municipal property or turned in to town staff may be held there. The Town Clerk's Office can direct you to the appropriate department and provide specifics on how long items are kept.
Local shops, restaurants, and venues
Businesses throughout downtown Farmington and elsewhere maintain their own lost and found systems. Items left in a store, cafe, or community space are typically held at that location for a set period. ReportLost helps identify which venue is most likely to have your item and what to say when you call.
Lost or found pet
If you've lost a cat or dog in the Farmington area, contact the Upper Valley Humane Society or check the NH Lost & Found Pets Facebook group for sightings and tips. Shelters and rescues in the region work together on missing pet networks.

Report your lost item now
The sooner you file, the sooner our team begins reaching out to the right departments and venues. Once filed, your report searches automatically—you can focus on other steps while we work in the background.
Report my lost item →Losing a personal item in Farmington—whether it's at a local business, on the street, or at a community venue—means contacting multiple independent services: the Police Department, Town Hall, individual stores, and local groups. Each operates its own lost and found, and there's no single place that consolidates reports or keeps them active for the long term.
ReportLost simplifies that process. You file once, and we route your report to the departments and locations that matter, file where they accept third-party reports, and keep your report actively searching for a match for a full year. Once your report is live, you don't have to spend time tracking down each office yourself—our team monitors incoming found items and alerts against your description.

What if I lost something at a business or restaurant?
Call the business directly. Most hold lost and found items at the register or service desk for 30 to 90 days. Describe your item clearly and ask them to check. When you file a report with ReportLost, we help you generate a description to use and identify which venue is most likely to have found it.

What should I include in my lost item report?
Provide a clear description (color, size, material, unique marks), where and when you last had it, and your contact information. Photos help. The more detail you give, the easier it is for finders and our team to match your report to found items.
