How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the exact details needed to file with the right local office and post to community channels.
We route it everywhere that matters
Your report goes to Hamilton Township Police, the Animal Shelter (if a pet), NJ Transit, and social groups where locals actively post found items. You don't have to make multiple calls or sign up for multiple systems.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For your entire search period, your report stays active and searches for matches against new found item alerts and community posts. We send you an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you can focus on your day instead of monitoring sites yourself.
Where lost items go in Hamilton Square
Know your options, or let us handle the routing
Hamilton Township Police
The Police Division handles lost and found reports for items lost in public spaces or on police property. They keep records and can match your item with found items turned in. We identify which precinct covers your loss location and generate the report details for you.
NJ Transit Lost & Found
Lost an item on a bus, train, or light rail in the Hamilton Square area? NJ Transit runs a centralized lost and found system you can access online or by phone. We ensure your item is reported to the right transit line and knows exactly how to follow up.
Hamilton Township Animal Shelter
If you've lost a cat or dog in Hamilton Square, the Animal Shelter & Adoption Center takes in strays and reunites them with owners. We alert them immediately and post your pet's details to local pet recovery groups. File a priority lost pet report for faster coordination with shelters and vets in the area.
Hamilton Township Government
The Township office can direct you to the right department or keep a lost and found log. They're open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We point you to the exact contact for your type of loss so there's no confusion.

The faster you report, the sooner we connect you
The first few hours matter most. Once your report is filed and submitted to the right channels, you can breathe easier knowing the search is underway and your report will keep matching against new findings for months.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, phone, or pet in Hamilton Square means dealing with multiple channels all at once: the police non-emergency line, NJ Transit if it happened on a bus or train, the Animal Shelter if it's a cat or dog, and local Facebook groups where community members post findings. Each system operates separately, and calling each one takes time you may not have right after a loss.
ReportLost simplifies that. File once, and we notify all the right offices and post to the channels where locals look. The real difference is what happens next: your report doesn't close after a day or two. It stays active for months, continuously cross-checking new found item posts and alerts against your description. You get an immediate notification if a match surfaces, so you're not the one refreshing Facebook groups or calling back every week.

Questions about reporting a loss in Hamilton Square
How long does the police keep lost and found items on record?
The Hamilton Township Police keep records of lost and found items, but storage periods and retrieval timelines vary. We recommend reporting immediately so your item is registered. For specifics, contact the Police Division at 609-581-4000.
If I lost something on NJ Transit, how do I claim it?
You can file a report through NJ Transit's online form at lostandfound.njtransit.com or call 973-275-5555. Have your route number, date, and time ready. We handle this routing for you.

The Animal Shelter can direct you to local vets and rescue groups in Mercer County. PawBoost and local Facebook groups are also active for lost pet alerts in the area. Filing a priority lost pet report with us ensures all channels are notified at once.
How long does your search last, and what does that mean?
You choose either a 6-month or 12-month search period when you file. During that time, your report stays active and continuously matches your item's description against new found item posts, community alerts, and local marketplace listings. You receive an alert immediately if a credible match appears.
What if I report through ReportLost and also call the police myself?
That's fine. Reporting through us means the main channels are notified and your report stays active for months. If you also call the police directly, both your calls are on record, which can only help.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service; we're not part of the Hamilton Township Police or any government agency. We don't replace official reporting, but we streamline it: we file the reports to the right places for you and keep your information active and searchable for months. Think of us as the coordinator between you and all the channels that can help.
