Where to report in Pine Brook
The official channels and how ReportLost simplifies each one
Montville Township Police Department
Pine Brook is part of Montville Township. The police department takes lost and found reports and holds found items. We tell you exactly which precinct covers your location and submit your report on your behalf.
Montville Township Municipal Building
The township clerk and lost and found office coordinate with police. You can file or follow up in person during business hours. We generate the exact details to include when you contact them.
NJ TRANSIT Lost & Found
If you lost an item on a bus or at a transit stop, report it to NJ TRANSIT. Their online portal or customer service lines handle claims. We point you to the right channel and log it so it's included in your search.
Newark Airport (EWR)
If your loss occurred at or near Newark Liberty International Airport, 14 miles away, file a claim with their virtual lost and found office. Items are held for 60 days.
Lost Pet?
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, the Montville Animal Shelter is your first point of contact, along with local rescue networks and Facebook community groups. Time matters with pets. File a priority lost pet report with us to get alerts across shelters, rescues, and pet-finder networks immediately.

The sooner you report, the better your odds
Every moment counts when something is lost. File your report now, and the weight lifts off your shoulders. We handle the outreach to police, social channels, and lost and found services. Once submitted, your report stays live and working for you every single day.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Pine Brook, whether it's a wallet at a local shop, a ring during a trip through town, or your cat near Changebridge Road, means navigating multiple separate channels: the police department, local social media groups, animal control, and transit services if you were on a bus. Each has its own process, hours, and gaps in visibility.
ReportLost bridges that gap. File once, and we ensure your loss reaches Montville Township Police, the right community channels, and any transit services involved. Most importantly, your report doesn't sit static. It stays live for 12 months, automatically cross-checking new found items and alerts against your description, so you're not manually refreshing Facebook groups or calling the police desk every week to ask if anyone's reported your lost dog or purse.
