Get Your Report Started Now
The sooner you report, the sooner local offices and community members can begin watching for your item. Once your report is filed, you can step back and let the system search for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Laconia can feel like falling through a gap in the system. Your wallet might be turned in to police, your keys to a local shop, a lost dog posted on a Facebook group you haven't joined yet. Each place operates independently, and there's no central hub piecing them together for you.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One form gets your item description to all the right authorities and community channels in Laconia at once. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching after you submit it. It stays live, automatically cross-referencing new found posts and shelter intakes for months, so you can focus on your day while the system works for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Laconia Police Department keep lost items?
The Police Department holds items for a reasonable time before potentially disposing of them. Contact them at 603-524-5257 within the first week of your loss to report and ask about your specific item. ReportLost files this report immediately so you don't have to wait.
What if my item was lost on a COAST Bus?
Call COAST Bus lost and found at 603-743-5777, option 1. Have your route number and travel time ready. Items are collected daily, so the sooner you call, the better. ReportLost will prompt you for the right details to provide.
How do I recover a lost pet from the Lakes Region Humane Society?
You'll need proof of rabies vaccination, a town dog license, and payment in full. Call them at 603-856-8756 to confirm your pet is there before visiting. Filing a lost pet report with ReportLost also posts to wider community channels immediately.
Can I report a loss if I'm not sure exactly where I left it?
Yes. Provide your best estimate of the general location and time. ReportLost will work with local police and community channels to cast a wider net. A vague report is better than no report.
Does ReportLost replace calling the police or going to lost and found offices in person?
ReportLost is an independent service that speeds up the process of notifying all the right places at once. We file your report with Laconia Police, COAST Bus, and local shelters so you don't have to make multiple calls. However, if you'd like to follow up in person or have urgent concerns, you should contact the police at 603-524-5257 or 911 in an emergency.
How long does my report stay active?
Your report remains active and searchable for 12 months, depending on the search period you choose. During that time, we automatically check new found item posts and shelter intakes to match your description. You'll be alerted if a credible match appears.
