The sooner you report, the better
Every hour counts when something goes missing. The first day is critical for lost items and especially for pets. Once you report through ReportLost, you've activated multiple channels at once and started your active search period. Then you can breathe—we're on it.
Report my lost item →Kearny sits in the heart of Hudson County, a transit hub where residents and commuters move through buses, trains, and local streets daily. Lost wallets on NJ TRANSIT, keys dropped at shops along Kearny Avenue, phones left at the station, or pets straying near Arlington Cemetery—these happen to the best of us. The problem is that Kearny Police, NJ TRANSIT, local businesses, and community channels don't talk to each other. You end up making separate calls, posting on different platforms, and checking the same websites every day.
ReportLost simplifies this. One simple report reaches the Kearny Police Department, NJ TRANSIT's lost and found system, Bergen County Animal Shelter, and active local Facebook groups all at once. Then, instead of you checking back repeatedly, your report stays active and keeps searching. We monitor for matches across the channels that matter—so you can focus on other things while we help bring your lost item home.

Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace contacting the police or lost and found directly?
ReportLost is an independent service, not a government agency. We are not the police or a lost and found office. What we do is take your report and route it to the right official channels (Kearny Police, NJ TRANSIT, shelters, etc.) and keep it active across community channels for 12 months. You benefit from speed, coordinated outreach, and continuous searching. The police, transit systems, and shelters are still the official record-keepers; we just help you reach them and don't let your report go dormant.
