How ReportLost Works
You Tell Us What You Lost
Fill out a quick form with details about your item, where you lost it, and when. Whether it's a ring left at a café, a wallet on the bus, or your keys, we capture everything we need to find it.
We Route It to the Right Places
We automatically send your report to the Woodbury Police Department's lost property desk, relevant NJ Transit channels if applicable, local animal control if it's a pet, and share it across community networks so it reaches the people most likely to help.
Your Report Keeps Searching for You
Once filed, your report doesn't expire. For your entire search period (12 months), we automatically cross-check new found items posted by shelters, transit staff, community groups, and local posts against your description, and alert you immediately when a credible match appears. You can focus on your day while we focus on your item.
Where Lost Items Go in Woodbury
Here's what channels exist locally. We notify all of them on your behalf, but you can also reach out directly.
Woodbury Police Department
The Woodbury Police Department maintains a lost and found system. Items turned in by the public or discovered on city streets typically end up here first. For non-emergencies, contact the Detective Bureau, which handles property inquiries. We generate and send your report to the right desk automatically, so they're expecting your case.
Non-Emergency: (856) 845-0064|Detective Bureau: (856) 845-0065
Woodbury City Hall
City Hall serves as a hub for lost property inquiries and can direct you to the appropriate department or office depending on where you lost your item. They can also check if items have been turned in to various city facilities. We provide them the key details so they know exactly what to look for.
NJ Transit Lost & Found
If you lost something on a bus, train, or light rail in the Woodbury area, NJ Transit maintains a comprehensive lost and found system. Items are typically held for a set period before being discarded or donated. Reporting through their system is straightforward, and we'll make sure your report reaches them promptly.
Newark Airport (EWR)
Woodbury is about 20 miles from Newark Liberty International Airport. If you lost an item while traveling through EWR, their lost and found office can assist. You can file a claim online or call their office directly. We'll remind you of this channel if your loss is airport-related.
Animal Shelters & Gloucester County Animal Control
If you've lost a cat or dog, multiple shelters in Gloucester County are your first call. The South Jersey Stray and Lost Pets system connects local shelters and animal control offices. We coordinate with these facilities and ensure your lost pet is in their system. To file a priority lost pet report with enhanced circulation, file a priority lost pet report.
Gloucester County Animal Control: (856) 881-0538|South Jersey shelter directory
Community Groups & Social Media
Woodbury residents actively share lost and found posts on Facebook and neighborhood groups. Posting in these communities dramatically increases the chances someone who found your item will see it. We amplify your report by sharing details across the most active local channels, so it reaches the eyes most likely to recognize what you're looking for.

The sooner you report, the sooner we start searching.
Every hour counts when something goes missing. Once you file your report, our team distributes it to all the right channels and your report enters our active search phase. The longer your item sits unclaimed, the more time we have to match it with incoming 'found' notifications, community posts, and shelter updates. Get your report filed today so we can get to work.
Report my lost item →Woodbury is a tight-knit community, but that doesn't mean lost items always find their way home. Your wallet might end up at the police station, your dog at the animal shelter, your keys with a helpful neighbor who posts on Facebook. Each organization keeps its own records, uses different systems, and there's no single place to check. Calling each one, filling out separate forms, and then checking back every few days is exhausting and error-prone.
ReportLost simplifies the entire process. File your loss once, and we handle notifying the police, city services, transit authorities, shelters, and local groups for you. The breakthrough: your report remains active for months, automatically scanning new found items and community posts, so you get an alert the moment something matching your description surfaces. You report, we distribute, and the search continues on your behalf, 24/7.
Common Places Where Things Get Lost in Woodbury
Lost items in these areas often find their way to different channels. Your report reaches all of them.
Downtown & South Broad Street
The commercial heart of Woodbury, where shops, cafes, and services line the street. Wallets, phones, and personal items left at restaurants or stores typically end up with business owners or the police department.
NJ Transit Bus Stops & Routes
Passengers frequently leave items on buses traveling through Woodbury. Bags, rings, and phones are common finds on transit, and NJ Transit's lost and found system is usually the final stop for these items.
City Parks & Recreation Areas
Parks are common places to lose jewelry, keys, and personal belongings. Found items are often turned in to nearby residents, the police non-emergency line, or kept by the person who finds them until they post on community groups.
Residential Neighborhoods
In quieter residential areas, helpful neighbors who find items often post on Facebook groups or neighborhood pages before contacting police. Community-posted found items can take days to circulate, but they eventually reach social channels.
Local Shops & Dining
Purses, phones, and glasses are frequently left at cafes, restaurants, and retail stores along South Broad Street. These businesses keep lost items for a limited time before donating or discarding them, so quick reporting matters.

Questions About Losing Items in Woodbury
How long does the police department hold lost items?
The Woodbury Police Department typically holds lost property for 30 to 90 days, depending on the item and circumstances. After that period, unclaimed items may be disposed of or donated. This is why reporting quickly and staying active during the search period is crucial. Your ReportLost report keeps checking new inventory through the entire period.
What if I lost something on an NJ Transit bus?
Contact NJ Transit's lost and found system at (973) 275-5555 or submit a report online. Items are typically held for 30 days. We'll make sure your report reaches NJ Transit so they can flag your item in their system. Check back regularly or wait for our alert when a match is found.
Where should I go in person to check for my lost item?
Start with the Woodbury Police Department's non-emergency line at (856) 845-0064 to ask about visiting. You can also call Gloucester County Animal Control at (856) 881-0538 if it's a pet. For transit items, contact NJ Transit directly. We notify all of these on your behalf, but visiting in person can sometimes speed things up.
How do I know if someone found my lost pet?
Check the Gloucester County Lost/Found Pets Facebook group frequently, and contact all South Jersey animal shelters listed in their intake directory. Shelters often post found animals on their social media and websites. If you file a ReportLost report for your pet, we'll monitor shelter postings and community groups for any matches and alert you immediately.
Can I report an item I lost at Newark Airport?
Yes. While EWR is outside Woodbury proper, we can help coordinate your report with Newark Airport's lost and found office at (212) 435-7000. File your report with us and mention the airport location, and we'll ensure it reaches the right team there.
Is ReportLost.org an official police service?
No, ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We don't replace the police or any other organization, but we streamline the process of notifying them and keeping your case active. We're a shortcut that saves you time coordinating with multiple offices and ensures your report doesn't get lost in the shuffle. The Woodbury Police Department and other agencies remain the official record keepers.
