How ReportLost Works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Whether it's a wallet left at a local shop, a ring on the bus, or a family pet, we gather the details we need to route your case correctly.
We route it to the right places
Your report is delivered to the Neptune City Police Department, Borough offices, NJ Transit Lost & Found, Monmouth County SPCA (for pets), and the right social channels. No more guessing which office to call.
Your report keeps searching for you
We don't just submit once and forget. Your report stays active for your entire search period (12 months), automatically matching against new "found" posts, marketplace listings, and local announcements. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you're not refreshing websites every day.
Where Your Lost Item Might Be
Neptune City and the surrounding area have several places to report and search. Below are the official channels—you can contact them directly, but ReportLost connects all of them for you in one step.
Neptune City Police Department
If you lost an item in Neptune City proper, or if you want to file an official lost report, the Police Department is your first official point of contact. They log reports and can connect you with found items. We identify which precinct covers your location and submit your report directly to the right desk.
Neptune City Borough Hall
Borough Hall maintains records and can assist with general lost and found inquiries. They can also direct you to the appropriate department depending on what you've lost and where. We generate the information you need to include and point you to the right department.
NJ Transit Lost & Found
Lost your wallet, phone, or keys on an NJ Transit bus or at a transit hub? NJ Transit operates a dedicated lost and found system and prefers reports submitted online. They retain items for a set period before they're discarded. We make sure your description reaches NJ Transit and flag it for their active search window.
Lost & Found Pets
If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing, time matters. Monmouth County SPCA and local animal control shelters in the area work together to reunite lost pets with their families. Posting to community pet networks and shelters immediately increases the chances of a safe return. File a priority lost pet report to activate our pet-specific alert system.

The sooner you report, the better your chances.
Items move quickly, and the first few hours count. But once your report is filed with ReportLost, you can step back. We keep searching, matching, and alerting you automatically.
Report my lost item →Neptune City residents know the sinking feeling of realizing something important is gone, whether it's a purse left on the NJ Transit bus heading downtown, a car key mislaid at a local restaurant, or a beloved pet who slipped out the door. The challenge: lost items scatter across different systems. The police handle some reports, NJ Transit manages transit losses separately, animal shelters take in strays, and tips trickle in through Facebook groups and Nextdoor. By the time you've called three offices and posted to four channels, hours have passed.
ReportLost simplifies that maze. One report to us, and we notify all the right departments, services, and community channels in Neptune City at once. But here's the real difference, we don't stop after the first day. Your report stays active and continues searching automatically, cross-checking new "found" posts and announcements against your description for months. That means you can exhale, knowing the hunt continues behind the scenes while you focus on life. Reporting quickly improves your odds, and once you've submitted, the work is no longer yours alone.
