How it works
You report what you lost
Tell us where, when, and what it was. Include details like color, brand, or distinctive marks. We collect everything in one form.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Parsippany Police, NJ TRANSIT if it was on a bus or local service, animal control if it's a pet, and we post to local social channels so your community can help search.
Your report searches for you automatically
While you move on with your day, your report stays active and continues matching against new found posts, lost-and-found listings, and marketplace posts across the region for 12 months. You get an alert as soon as a credible match appears.
Where to report a lost item in Parsippany
Here's where items end up, and how to claim them. ReportLost alerts all of these places for you.
Parsippany Police Department
The police maintain a lost and found for items turned in by the public or found on local property. For non-emergency reports and inquiries, contact them directly. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and help you file the initial report.
NJ TRANSIT Lost & Found
If you lost your item on a local bus, NJ TRANSIT's centralized system keeps it for a minimum of 14 days. You can report online or call them with the route and date. We generate the exact details you'll need to provide.
Township of Parsippany City Hall
The municipal office can direct you to the right department depending on where your loss occurred—public property, a municipal building, or a town event. City Hall is open Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
Newark Airport (EWR) Lost & Found
If you lost an item at Newark Airport, which serves the Parsippany area, the airport runs its own lost and found office. Items are held and searchable through their virtual system.
Lost Pet in Parsippany
If your cat or dog is missing, Parsippany Animal Control and Shelter is your first stop. They hold lost animals and can check against incoming intakes. Hours are Monday–Friday 3–5 PM, Saturday–Sunday 9 AM–12 PM. For a faster, priority search connected to local pet networks, file a priority lost pet report.

The sooner you report, the better
Each day that passes, your item moves further down the priority list or gets cleared from temporary storage. If you report right away—and let ReportLost route it to all the right channels—your chances of recovery climb significantly. After that, your report keeps working for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Parsippany means checking multiple places: the police department, NJ TRANSIT's system, local shelters if it's a pet, plus scrolling through Facebook groups and Nextdoor every few days hoping someone posts about it. Each office keeps items for a limited time, and coordinating between them takes phone calls and back-and-forth.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report to us, and we send your information to all the right agencies and community channels at once. Then your report stays active, automatically cross-referencing new found items and online posts, so you don't have to keep checking yourself. Once you've filed, you can breathe—your search is working around the clock.
