Where to report lost items in Lyons
Bernards Township covers Lyons. Here's what each channel handles and how ReportLost helps.
Bernards Township Police
The official place to file a lost item report. Police keep records and can confirm your report number. ReportLost generates the exact information you need and submits it to the right precinct for you.
NJ Transit Lost and Found
If you lost your item on a bus or train, NJ Transit has a dedicated online portal and customer service centers. Report online (preferred) or call with the date, route, and vehicle number handy. ReportLost ensures this channel knows to keep an eye out for your description.
Local shops and public places
Check in person or call the store, restaurant, or venue where you think you left your item. Many keep items at the front desk for 30 days. ReportLost alerts you to mention your report number so staff can match it if your item arrives.
Newark Airport (EWR)
If your loss happened during air travel, Newark Liberty International Airport has its own lost and found office. Items are held for up to 60 days. Contact them directly or mention your flight details in your ReportLost report.
Lost pet
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, time is critical. Contact animal control, local shelters, and post immediately on Facebook groups like 'Lost and Found Dogs and Cats of Somerset County NJ' and r/newjersey. ReportLost can amplify your search across these channels while you focus on ground searches. For a faster, priority response tailored to lost pets, file a priority lost pet report.
