How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the exact details needed to route your case to the right offices.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Asbury Park Police, NJ Transit (if applicable), and relevant local groups. No back and forth required on your end.
Your report keeps searching for you
For 12 months, your report stays active and cross-references new found item posts, marketplace listings, and community alerts. You get notified if a match surfaces, so you don't have to check every day.
Where your report goes
These are the official channels ReportLost connects you with. You can also reach them directly if you prefer.
Asbury Park Police Department
The police maintain a lost and found for items turned in to the station. Call the non-emergency line and let them know what you've lost, where, and when. We generate the precise details to include in your report.
NJ Transit Lost & Found
If you lost something on an NJ Transit bus, the system holds items for a minimum of 14 days. Report online or call with the route, date, and time you traveled. We can help you pinpoint which info NJ Transit needs.

City Hall can direct you to the right department and answer questions about city services. They're also a point of contact for general lost item inquiries in municipal buildings and parks.

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.
