Tell us what went missing, where, and when. We gather the details needed to connect with the right departments and community networks across Kenilworth.

For your entire search period, your report automatically cross-checks new found items, community posts, and marketplace listings. You get an alert the moment we find a credible match, so you don't have to check back every day.
Where Lost Items Go in Kenilworth
The right place to report depends on where you lost it. We handle the routing for you, but here's what happens behind the scenes.
Kenilworth Police Department
Items left in public spaces, found during police responses, or turned in by residents often end up here. The police can also help file a report for theft or suspicious loss. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and ensure your details reach them.
NJ Transit Lost & Found
Lost something on a bus or at a transit stop in Kenilworth? NJ Transit maintains a centralized lost and found system. You can report online, by phone, or in person. We generate the exact information you need and point you to the fastest way to file.
Local Businesses & Public Spaces
Retail stores, restaurants, gas stations, parks, and community centers often hold items left behind. When we process your report, we help you identify which business or location is most likely to have what you're looking for, so you can reach out with confidence.
Lost Pet?
If you've lost a cat or dog in Kenilworth, time is critical. Alert the police, post on community groups, and notify animal services right away. ReportLost can help you get the word out fast across the right channels. File a priority lost pet report to activate immediate community alerts.
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
If you lost something at EWR, contact the airport's lost and found office or TSA directly. The airport is about 20 minutes from Kenilworth and handles thousands of items annually.

The sooner you report, the sooner we search.
Every day that passes means fewer active eyes on your item. File your report now, and our team will take it from there. You can move forward knowing the search is underway.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Kenilworth can feel scattered. Whether it happened on a bus, at a local shop, in your neighborhood, or at the train station, the item could end up with police, NJ Transit, a business, or a good Samaritan posting on Facebook or Nextdoor. Reaching out to each one separately takes time, and the longer you wait, the colder the trail gets.
ReportLost streamlines the whole process. One report covers the essential channels, and because your description stays active in our matching system for months, you benefit from an ongoing search without lifting a finger. Whether your wallet turned up at the police station or a neighbor saw your ring and posted about it online, you'll know about it right away.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Kenilworth Police Department hold lost items?
Police departments typically hold unclaimed items for 30 to 90 days before disposing of them. Call 908-276-1700 to ask about your specific item. This is why speed matters: the sooner you report through us, the sooner they'll have your description and can set it aside if found.
What if I lost something on an NJ Transit bus?
NJ Transit operates a centralized lost and found system. You can report online at njtransit.com/lostandfound, call 973-275-5555, or visit a customer service office. Have the date, route number, and bus details ready. We help you provide those details accurately and ensure your report is filed.
Can I report something lost at Newark Airport through ReportLost?

How does ReportLost keep my report active for 12 months?
Your description stays in our matching system. We automatically cross-check new found item posts, community alerts, and marketplace listings against your report. If a match looks credible, you get notified immediately. You don't have to monitor Facebook, Reddit, or Nextdoor every day; we do it for you.
What if my lost item is a pet?
Lost pets need immediate action. Contact the Kenilworth Police Department at 908-276-1700, alert community Facebook groups and Nextdoor right away, and post on statewide pet lost and found networks. Our dedicated lost pet reports trigger priority alerts across these channels faster than a standard report.
Is ReportLost.org official? Do I have to use it instead of calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not in place of them. We route your report to the Kenilworth Police, NJ Transit, and community networks so you don't have to call each one separately. If you prefer to report directly, you can, but many people find our single-report system saves time and reaches more places at once.
