How It Works
You Report Your Loss
Tell us what you lost, where it happened, and when. We gather the details needed to route your case to the right places in Camden.
We Route It Everywhere That Matters
Your report goes to Camden County Police, the city's lost and found channels, transit systems, and any other relevant local authority. No runaround, no repeating yourself.
Automated Monitoring Finds Matches
We scan Facebook groups, Nextdoor posts, marketplace listings, and the full web repeatedly over months, matching your description against every "found" post. You get an alert the moment a credible match surfaces, so you're never chasing leads manually again.
Where Lost Items Go in Camden
Here's how the system works and what you can do directly, though ReportLost handles the legwork.
Camden County Police Department
The police handle lost property reports and maintain records. You can file a report directly, but we'll make sure your case lands with the right precinct and include all the critical details so nothing gets lost in translation.
City of Camden Main Office
City Hall coordinates lost and found inquiries and can point you to the right department. We'll identify which city office is most relevant to your loss location and ensure your report reaches them.
NJ TRANSIT Lost & Found
Items left on buses or at transit stations go through NJ TRANSIT's system. They have an online reporting tool and phone line, but we'll alert them directly and keep checking their database for your item automatically.
Newark Airport (Nearby)
If your loss happened at EWR during travel, their dedicated lost and found office handles claims. We can route your report there if needed and follow up on their end.
Lost or Found a Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Camden, local shelters and rescue groups including Humane Camden and the Camden County Animal Shelter need to know right away. They maintain active registries and post alerts to social channels, but speed matters with pets. File a priority lost pet report to get maximum visibility instantly.

The Sooner You Report, the Better
Items move through the city's system quickly, and the first hours matter. Getting your loss reported to every relevant office at once, plus onto local social channels, dramatically improves recovery odds. Once your report is filed with us, you can relax knowing we're watching for matches while you handle the rest of your day.
Report my lost item →Camden moves fast, and losing something in the middle of it all is stressful. Whether it's on a bus route, left at a shop downtown, dropped near the waterfront, or misplaced at work, your item could end up anywhere. The city's police department, NJ TRANSIT, Animal Control, and dozens of local businesses each keep their own records, which means hunting it down usually means calling or visiting multiple offices, refreshing social media posts daily, and hoping someone posts a "found" ad that matches yours.
ReportLost simplifies that entire process. One report to us, and we alert all the right channels in Camden at once. More importantly, we don't just file and forget, we monitor the web continuously for months, scanning social channels, marketplaces, and local community posts automatically so you can move forward instead of refreshing your phone every hour. The moment your item surfaces anywhere online, you'll know.

Items left on buses are routed to NJ TRANSIT's Lost & Found system. You can report online or call (973) 275-5555 with your route number, date, and time. We'll report your loss to them and check their database continuously for matches.
Can I file a report for something lost at a business or store?
Yes. If you know the specific business, tell us and we'll contact them directly as part of your report. If you're unsure which store, we'll work with local police to determine where your item might have been turned in.
How often does ReportLost check social media and marketplaces for my lost item?
We scan Facebook groups, Nextdoor, classified listings, and other public web channels repeatedly throughout your report period, using automated matching to detect posts that fit your description, location, and date. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears.
What if my item is found but I don't know where it is?
If someone posts a photo of your item on social media or a marketplace, our system will flag it for you with the poster's contact information and location. You can then reach out directly to arrange recovery.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We're not affiliated with the Camden County Police, the city, or NJ TRANSIT, but we route your report directly to them and monitor public channels they don't actively watch. Filing with us complements, not replaces, any official report you choose to file directly.
