How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We generate all the details needed for official reports and community alerts—no back-and-forth with multiple agencies.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Kenmore Police, the Village Clerk, any local transit or business lost and found offices involved, and relevant social media groups—all at once.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For 12 months, your report stays active and continues to match against new found items, marketplace posts, and community alerts. You get an alert the moment a credible match surfaces—no daily scouring required.
Where your report goes
Here's exactly who we notify and what they can do for you.
Kenmore Police Department
The Kenmore Police handle lost property reports and maintain records of items turned in. We file the report on your behalf and provide all the details they need to locate and hold your item. You can also call them directly at (716) 875-1234.
Village Clerk & Municipal Services
Kenmore's Clerk/Treasurer office and Village administrative services keep records of lost items turned in at municipal buildings and events. We notify them with your report details so staff know to set your item aside if it arrives.
Public Transit & Airport
If you lost your item on a bus, at Buffalo Niagara International Airport (which serves the area), or at a transit terminal, those services maintain separate lost and found systems. We alert the relevant transit authority and airport operations so they tag your report and check for matches. You can also call NFTA-Metro Customer Care at (716) 855-7211 or the airport terminal at (716) 630-6000.

Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, we alert the SPCA Serving Erie County and local animal shelters, and we post to the community pet networks where Kenmore residents search first. Connect with the SPCA at (716) 875-7360, ext. 209, or file a priority lost pet report with us for immediate social amplification and shelter coordination.
Community & Social Networks
Your report reaches active Facebook groups like Buffalo Lost & Found, WNY Lost and Found Pets, and KenTon Lost & Found Pets, plus local r/Buffalo threads. These communities are where neighbors often post found items and rally to help reunite owners with belongings.

Common questions
How long do police and businesses hold lost items in Kenmore?
Kenmore Police typically hold items for 30 to 90 days before disposal, depending on the type of item. Local businesses and shops have varying policies, usually 2 to 4 weeks. The sooner you report and claim your item, the better. Our report ensures police and local businesses know to flag your item and hold it longer if found.
What if I lost my item on the bus or at the airport?
Call NFTA-Metro Customer Care at (716) 855-7211 (for buses and rail) or Buffalo Niagara International Airport at (716) 630-6000 (for terminal areas). Items are held at the airport's Lost & Found office, 4200 Genesee Street, Cheektowaga, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM. Our report alerts these services automatically.
How do I claim my item if someone finds it?
You'll be contacted directly by the finder, the police, or the business holding your item. Bring a photo and proof of ownership (like a bank card or receipt) when you pick it up. Some businesses may hold items at their customer service desk; ask for the manager.
Can I file a police report myself instead of using ReportLost?
Yes, you can call Kenmore Police at (716) 875-1234 or visit in person at 2395 Elmwood Avenue. You can also file online with the Buffalo Police at crime.erie.gov/bpd/. ReportLost saves you time by filing the official report, alerting multiple offices and community channels simultaneously, and keeping your report active for months to cross-check new found items.
Does ReportLost replace calling the police or the lost and found?
No. ReportLost works alongside official channels. We file reports with police and businesses on your behalf and amplify them across community networks. You own the report—we just make sure the right people see it right away and keep it visible for months.

ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Kenmore Police Department, the Village, or any government agency. We are a private platform that streamlines reporting by sending your information to official channels and community boards simultaneously.
