Where lost items end up
Firthcliffe is part of the Town of Cornwall. Here's what happens when you lose something and where ReportLost connects you.
Town of Cornwall Police
The primary authority for lost property in Firthcliffe. They receive reports, hold items, and can file a formal lost property record. We tell you which precinct covers your location and ensure your report reaches them immediately.
Dutchess County Transit
If you lost something on a local bus, Dutchess County maintains a Lost and Found service. Items are typically held for a set period before being disposed. We generate the exact details you need to file a transit claim.
Town Hall
For administrative matters and general lost property inquiries, the Town of Cornwall Town Hall can point you to the right department. We help you understand which town office handles your specific situation.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the better your chances
Once your report is filed, you can take a breath. Our team and systems take it from there, cross-checking community channels, transit offices, and shelter records for matches. Early reporting gives you more time on the search clock.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Firthcliffe can feel scattered. Between the Town of Cornwall Police, local bus transit, community Facebook groups, and neighborhood word-of-mouth, it's easy to miss where to report or how to follow up. Police, transit, shelters, and online groups all hold found items separately, and checking each one repeatedly drains time and hope.
ReportLost simplifies this. File one report, and we notify the right local authorities, transit services, and community channels on your behalf. Then, your report stays active and keeps searching for a match automatically, for months. You don't revisit Facebook groups or call around every day, we do that for you.
