Get your report started
The sooner you report a loss, the sooner the local network starts looking. Once you've filed, your report stays live for months, so you can stop refreshing Facebook groups and let us handle the search.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Gloversville means reaching out to multiple places: the police on Frontage Road, City Hall, local Facebook groups, maybe the bus transit system if it happened on GTS, or the Fulton County Regional SPCA if it's a pet. Each office keeps its own records, and none of them talk to each other. By the time you call the second place, the first one has already moved on.
ReportLost bridges that gap. You fill out one form, we notify the Gloversville Police, City Hall, and every local lost and found channel that matters. Better yet, your report doesn't go dormant after a week, it stays active so new found items and community posts are checked against your description automatically. You file once, and the system keeps looking for months while you get on with your life.

Frequently asked questions about lost and found in Gloversville
How long does the Gloversville Police Department keep lost and found items?
The police department doesn't publish a specific hold period, but typically lost property is kept for 30 to 90 days before disposal. This is why reporting immediately and checking back in person (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. To 4 p.m.) is important. ReportLost keeps your report active for 12 months, bridging the gap between the police's hold period and ongoing community searches.
What happens if I lost something on a GTS bus?
Contact the Gloversville Police Department and file a lost property report, or reach out through the GTS Passenger Handbook. Items left on buses are held for a limited time. ReportLost will generate a detailed description and alert both GTS and police so your item is on their radar immediately.
Where do found animals go in Gloversville?
Any stray dog or cat picked up by Animal Control in the City of Gloversville is brought to the Fulton County Regional SPCA at 117 West Fulton Street. Call 518-736-2100 to check if your pet is there, or post in the Lost and Found Pets Fulton COUNTY NY Facebook group. For lost pets, ReportLost can file a priority pet report that alerts the SPCA and community networks immediately.
Can I file a report for something lost outside of business hours?
Yes, with ReportLost. You can report any time, day or night, and we'll route your loss to the right offices as soon as they open. The Gloversville Police Department is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays, but emergency services are available 24 hours if your loss involves a missing person or stolen property.
Why does my report stay active for 12 months?
Most lost items don't turn up in the first week, they reappear weeks or months later when someone finds them, posts about them online, or tries to sell them on a marketplace. Your report stays active so it's checked against new found posts and community alerts the whole time, without you having to re-post or re-search manually.
Is ReportLost.org an official government service?
No, ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We're not affiliated with the Gloversville Police Department, City of Gloversville, or Fulton County. We don't replace filing a police report, but we handle the routing, follow-up, and long-term monitoring for you. For crimes or urgent missing persons, always call 911 or the police directly.
