Where to report in Vauxhall
The channels that matter, and how ReportLost connects them all at once
Union Township Police Department
Items lost or found in Vauxhall go through Union Township. You can report to them directly, but ReportLost determines your exact precinct, drafts the report, and files it for you so nothing is lost in translation.
Union Township Municipal Office
The township office can direct you to the right department for items lost in public spaces. ReportLost handles this coordination, so you don't have to navigate the referral chain yourself.
NJ TRANSIT Lost & Found
If you lost your wallet, keys, or phone on a local bus, NJ TRANSIT has a dedicated lost and found system. ReportLost can file your report there and ensure your item description reaches the right depot. Items are held for a period before being discarded, so timing matters.
Newark Airport Lost & Found
Lost something at nearby EWR? Their lost and found holds items for up to 60 days. We can help you report to their virtual office and track your claim.
Lost pets in Union Township
Lost your cat or dog? Union Township Animal Shelter is the first port of call. They also coordinate with local Facebook groups and keep lost pet reports active. For a streamlined lost pet search, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to activate our pet-specific network.

The sooner you report, the better your odds
Items found right away are more likely to be reported to the authorities. Once you file your report, you've bought yourself months of searching without the daily legwork.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Vauxhall means contacting multiple places on your own: the Union Township Police, the shop or venue where it went missing, NJ TRANSIT if you lost it on the bus, and hoping someone posts about it on Facebook. Each agency keeps items for different lengths of time, and the information falls through cracks between departments. By the time you've called everyone, days have passed.
ReportLost does the routing for you. One report covers Union Township Police, local lost and found channels, transit authorities, and community networks. Once filed, your report doesn't stop searching. It stays active for months, continuously matching against new found items and posts, so you can breathe easy knowing your item is being looked for automatically.
