The sooner you report, the better

Every hour counts when something is lost. The moment you file a report, we begin routing it and activating your search across local channels. Once your report is in the system, you can breathe easy. Our team and the community have it from there.

Report my lost item →

Losing something in Asbury Park can feel scattered. Between the boardwalk, downtown shops, beach areas, transit stations, and dozens of community groups, there's no single place where found items naturally surface. The police have a lost and found, NJ Transit holds items briefly, local Facebook groups buzz with posts, but none of them talk to each other. You're left making calls, posting yourself, and hoping.

ReportLost simplifies that. File one report with us, and we route it to the Asbury Park Police Department, NJ Transit's system, and active local social channels. Then your report stays live for months, automatically matching incoming found item reports to your description. You report once, relax, and we keep your search active while you get on with your day.
