New York : the holding period scales with the item's value: the more it is worth, the longer the police must keep it. A finder must deposit an item worth $20 or more at a police station within 10 days. (New York Personal Property Law §§252-253)

Losing something in East Quogue means juggling calls to the police, checking multiple Facebook groups, monitoring community message boards, and hoping someone posts on Nextdoor. Each source operates independently, and there's no single place watching for your lost wallet, ring, or phone across all of them at once.

ReportLost streamlines the whole process. File one report and we make sure it reaches the Quogue Village Police Department, gets shared with active community networks, and stays visible for the long haul. The key difference: your report keeps searching for a match automatically, so you don't have to check back every day or remake the round of local channels yourself.
