Where lost items go in Litchfield
Each location and service holds items separately. Below is what you need to know about each.
Litchfield Police Department
The Police Department is the main repository for lost and found property reported within town. Items found on the street, in parks like Darrah Pond, or turned in by residents are logged here. We file your report directly with the department and provide you the exact office location and contact number so you can follow up or claim your item.
COAST Bus Transit
If you left something on a COAST bus serving the Litchfield area, the transit system collects items at the end of each service day. COAST maintains a lost and found log. Call them directly to describe what you lost and confirm whether it has been turned in. We point you to COAST's process and contact line so you know exactly what to ask.
Local businesses and venues
Items left at stores, restaurants, parks, and other community spaces are typically held by the business or venue itself. Staff keep these items for a set period before disposal. We help you identify which business or location is most likely holding your item and advise you on the best way to contact them or visit in person.
Manchester-Boston Regional Airport
For items lost during air travel or at the terminal, Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, about 30 minutes south of Litchfield, manages its own lost and found. We provide you the airport's reporting process and direct links to submit your claim.
Lost or found pets
If you've lost a dog or cat, the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire in nearby Bedford is a primary resource, along with local Facebook groups dedicated to missing and found pets. Post descriptions and photos in community groups, and contact the shelter. File a priority lost pet report

Ready to file your report?
The sooner your report is in the system, the sooner services like the Police Department can begin their recovery process and your 12-month active search begins. You don't need to visit each place yourself first, we handle the routing.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Litchfield means retracing steps across multiple places and offices. A wallet left at a local business, glasses misplaced at Darrah Pond, or a phone forgotten on the COAST bus each require a separate call and visit. The Police Department holds found items, transit staff manage bus recovery, and shops keep their own records. Without a single entry point, people often spend hours calling around, unsure if they've reached everyone or if something has been overlooked.
ReportLost streamlines this process by consolidating your loss into one submission and routing it to the Litchfield Police Department and other relevant services on your behalf. Once your report is filed, the search doesn't stop after a day or a week. Your report stays active for a full year, continuously matched against newly reported found items, posts from local groups and shelters, and community alerts. While you go about recovering your routine, your report keeps working for you.
