Report my lost item →Losing something in Flanders can be frustrating. Whether it's a wallet dropped at a local shop, a ring lost during a walk, or a pet that wandered off, the challenge is reaching all the right places at once, at the right time. Mount Olive Police, the township, local animal control, NJ TRANSIT, and community groups all handle lost items, but they're separate systems. You end up making multiple calls, filling separate forms, and hoping someone finds your belongings before they're gone for good.
ReportLost simplifies all of that. File one report with us, and we instantly notify every relevant local authority and community channel in Flanders. Then your report stays active, continuously matching your loss against new found items, posts, and local announcements, so you can focus on other things while we keep searching. No subscriptions, no monthly fees, just one transparent payment that covers your entire search period.

How long do police and businesses keep lost items before disposing of them?
Mount Olive Police and local businesses typically hold items for 30 to 90 days, depending on the nature of the item and department policy. Jewelry and valuables are held longer. Check directly with Mount Olive Police (973) 691-0900 to ask about your specific item's status.
What if I lost something on an NJ TRANSIT bus?
File a report with NJ TRANSIT's Lost & Found at njtransit.com/lostandfound or call 973-275-5555. Items are held for a set period. ReportLost will alert NJ TRANSIT and keep checking for matches.
What should I do if my pet is lost?
