Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the Nassau County Police hold lost items?
The Nassau County Police typically hold unclaimed items for 90 days to six months, depending on the item type. High-value items like electronics may be held longer. Report soon after loss to improve recovery odds, and check their property room status for your specific item.
Where can I pick up a found item from the Village or Police?
Contact the Nassau County Police non-emergency line at (516) 573-8800 or the East Hills station at (516) 621-5600 to confirm your item is in custody. You'll be directed to the correct precinct or property room for pickup during business hours.
What if I lost my item on a Long Island bus or during transit?
Call the Nassau County Police main line to report and ask which transit depot your bus route feeds into. Many bus drivers turn in found items to the nearest depot within 24 hours. ReportLost alerts the right transit authorities on your behalf.
Do I need to file a police report to use ReportLost?
No. ReportLost works independently. We take your report and route it to the police, Village, and community channels as needed. If your item is valuable or involves a crime, the police may open a separate case, but ReportLost gets the information flowing immediately.
How does ReportLost keep my report active for 12 months?
Your report description stays in our system and is continuously matched against new found items posted to local agencies, marketplace listings, and community boards. You receive alerts if a credible match appears. You don't have to check sites yourself every day; the search runs in the background for you.
