Where lost items end up in Atlantic City
Each location has its own process. We know them all.
Atlantic City Police Department
Items turned in to police, found on the street, or reported by merchants often land here. The ACPD also coordinates with the county. We identify the right precinct for your loss location and file the report on your behalf so you don't have to track down the exact desk.
NJ Transit & Local Bus Services
Lost something on a bus or at a transit stop? NJ Transit operates most routes in and around Atlantic City, and they maintain an active lost and found. Rabbit Transit also serves the area. We generate the exact information you'd need to submit, including route and time details.
Atlantic City International Airport (ACY)
Left something at the airport? The ACY customer service team manages lost and found for the terminal, while TSA handles items left at security and airlines track in-flight losses. We point you to the right office based on where your item was lost.
City of Atlantic City Services
City Hall and municipal departments can field reports of items lost in public spaces, parks, and city facilities. We connect you with the right office and ensure your report is logged in the city system.
Lost Pet
Lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Atlantic City or Atlantic County? The Atlantic County Animal Shelter and Humane Society of Atlantic County maintain registries and can help spread the word. Time is critical with pets. File a priority lost pet report

Ready to report? The sooner the better.
Every hour counts when something goes missing. Filing your report early gives the local network more time to match it against found items and community posts. Once it's submitted, our system keeps searching on your behalf while you focus on the rest of your day.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Atlantic City means navigating multiple phone lines, separate websites, and fragmented local channels. The police handle some items, NJ Transit covers their own system, the airport has its own desk, and community Facebook groups buzz with found posts you'd have to check daily. It's exhausting, and by the time you've called everyone, the trail grows cold.
ReportLost consolidates that chaos into one simple report. We know exactly which Atlantic City department handles what, we submit your details on your behalf, and we keep your report actively searching through local networks and new found posts for months, not hours. Once you file, the search doesn't pause when you close your browser. You can breathe easier knowing the right channels have your information and are working toward a match.

The ACPD typically holds items for a limited period before disposal. Checking with them directly at 609-347-5780 (non-emergency) can tell you the current window. That's one reason ReportLost keeps your report active: we cross-check against new entries before items are lost to time.
What if I lost something on NJ Transit?
Call NJ Transit's Lost and Found at 973-275-5555 or report online at lostandfound.njtransit.com. Have your route number, the date, and approximate time ready. ReportLost generates this info for you and submits it, so you don't have to hunt down every detail.
I lost my luggage at Atlantic City Airport. Who do I contact?
Call ACY Customer Service at 609-573-4725. If your bag was on a plane, contact the airline directly. If it was left in the terminal, airport lost and found handles it. We point you to the right contact and ensure your report is filed in the airport system.
How long does ReportLost keep my report active?
Depending on your plan, your report stays active for 6 to 12 months, continuously searching for matches across police lost and found, transit systems, airport databases, and community posts. You'll receive an alert the moment a credible match surfaces.
Can I report a lost pet through ReportLost?
Yes. We have a dedicated lost pet report path that gets your pet's details to the Atlantic County Animal Shelter (609-485-2345) and Humane Society of Atlantic County immediately, plus alerts the community. Visit our lost pet page to file a priority report.
