How ReportLost works in Keene
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where you last saw it in Keene, and a bit about the day it went missing. We handle the details so you don't have to repeat your story to five different offices.
We connect the right agencies
Your report goes directly to the Keene Police Department, COAST Bus lost and found, Keene Dillant-Hopkins Airport (if relevant), and the community networks where locals post found items every day.
Your report keeps searching for a match
While you move forward, your report continues to check incoming found postings across local channels for the entire search period. The moment a credible match appears, you get an alert instead of wasting time scrolling.
Where lost items go in Keene
Each place below handles its own lost and found. ReportLost notifies all of them at once so you don't have to make five phone calls.
Keene Police Department
The Police Department holds lost items turned in by residents and local businesses, including keys, wallets, and personal effects. They're open during regular business hours and also receive non-emergency reports 24/7. When you report through ReportLost, we notify the Records Division and give them all the specifics so they know exactly what to look for.
COAST Bus Lost and Found
COAST (Community Oriented Transit) collects items from buses at the end of each shift. If you left something aboard, staff hold it temporarily. We make sure COAST has your full description and contact information so they can reach you if your item comes in during their daily recovery routine.
Keene Dillant-Hopkins Airport
If you left something at the airport, Monadnock Aviation manages the lost and found for the terminal. We notify the airport directly and include all the information they need to locate and hold your item.
Lost Pets
If your cat, dog, or other pet is missing, the Monadnock Humane Society and local animal rescue groups maintain active lost pet networks and shelter checks. Report your lost pet as soon as possible, and also file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost so we activate our pet-specific search channels.
City of Keene
City Hall and municipal departments often receive items turned in by residents or businesses in public spaces. While we report your loss directly to the Police Department (which coordinates most found items), City Hall staff can also provide context about where your item was last seen.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Don't wait to report
The first few hours matter most for recovery. Getting your report to the right people quickly means items are identified and set aside before they're misplaced or donated.
Report my lost item →Keene is a welcoming college town where people lose wallets at local restaurants, phones at the Monadnock library, and bags on the City Express bus. But finding them again means calling multiple places separately, and the trail gets cold fast. Most items end up in several different lost and found databases that never talk to each other.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One brief report, and we notify the Keene Police Department, the city's transit system, the airport, animal control, and the social channels where Keene residents post found items. Then your report stays active in the background, matching new found postings to your description automatically. You can finally stop checking Facebook groups and call logs every morning and actually move on, knowing the search is still happening.

Questions about lost items in Keene
How long does the Police Department keep lost items?
The Keene Police Department's retention policies vary by item type. Most items are held for a reasonable period before being disposed of or donated. Check with Records at 603-357-9815 for specifics about your item's age and category.
How do I claim my item if it's found?
Contact the agency where it was found (Police Department at 603-357-9813, COAST at 603-743-5777, or the airport at 603-357-7600). Have a description ready and be prepared to provide proof of ownership. ReportLost alerts you immediately if a match is reported, so you're not calling around yourself.
What if I lost my item in a private business?
Contact the business directly first. Many items turn up at the register or back office within hours. If they don't have it, they often direct the lost item to the Police Department, so your ReportLost report will cover that path too.
Do I have to report to multiple places separately?
No. That's why ReportLost exists. File once with us, and we notify the Police Department, COAST, the airport, and community channels simultaneously. You get one confirmation instead of juggling five phone calls.
How long does my report stay active?
Your ReportLost report stays active for your entire search period, either 12 months depending on your choice at signup. During that time, we continue to check found postings and alert you to matches. You don't have to renew or follow up manually.
Is ReportLost.org an official Keene city service?
No, ReportLost is an independent service that partners with and notifies official agencies like the Keene Police Department, COAST, and the city's airport authority. We don't replace these services, but we coordinate reporting so you don't have to. The agencies themselves still hold and return lost items according to their own procedures.
