How it works
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where you last had it, and when. We capture all the details you'd normally have to repeat to five different places.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the South Bound Brook Police Department, local transit services, community groups, and other relevant channels in your area. You don't have to figure out who to call.
Your report stays active and searching
For 12 months, your report keeps matching against new found items, community posts, and local activity. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match surfaces, so you're not refreshing Facebook groups or calling around every day.
Where things get lost in South Bound Brook
And where to report them
South Bound Brook Police Department
The police department handles lost and found reports for items lost throughout the borough, including on streets, in parks, and at local businesses. They maintain records and can advise you on next steps.
NJ TRANSIT Lost & Found
If you lost something on a bus or at a transit station, NJ TRANSIT operates a centralized lost and found system. You can file a report online, by phone, or in person at a customer service office. We can point you to the exact form and tell you what details to include.
Borough Hall & Local Businesses
Items left at restaurants, shops, offices, or town facilities often end up with management or a lost and found desk. Borough Hall can sometimes point you toward the right business, and we help you know which questions to ask.
Lost or Missing Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, time is critical. Local shelters, community networks, and dedicated lost pet groups in Somerset County actively help reunite animals with their families. File a priority lost pet report to reach these networks immediately.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the South Bound Brook Police Department hold lost items?
Police departments typically hold lost and found items for 30 to 90 days before releasing or donating them. We recommend filing your report as soon as possible and following up within that window. When you file with us, we ensure the police are notified promptly so the clock starts and tracking is coordinated.
What if I lost something on an NJ TRANSIT bus or at a station?
NJ TRANSIT has a dedicated lost and found system. You can report online at njtransit.com/lostandfound, call 973-275-5555, or visit a customer service office. We can guide you through the right channel and ensure your item description is detailed enough to speed up recovery.
Can I report a lost pet through ReportLost?
Yes. Lost pets require immediate action, and we've built a priority path for them. Filing a lost pet report connects you with shelters, animal control, and community networks across Somerset County right away. Use our dedicated lost pet report form to get maximum visibility fast.
How do I know if my item has been found?
Once your report is active, we monitor community posts, local lost and found networks, and other channels for potential matches. When we find a credible lead, we alert you immediately. You won't have to refresh Facebook or call around; we do that searching for you.
Does ReportLost replace filing a report with the South Bound Brook Police?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that routes your report to the police, transit agencies, and community channels and keeps searching for matches over time. Filing with us complements official channels but does not replace them. For theft or items of significant value, you may want to file a separate police report. We help you do both efficiently.
How long does my report stay active?
Your report keeps searching for 12 months, depending on your choice. During that entire period, new found items, community posts, and local activity are checked against your description, and you'll be alerted if a match surfaces. This means you don't have to restart the search or re-file if your item doesn't turn up in the first few weeks.
