Where Lost Items Go in Lynbrook
Here's what to know about each channel, and how we help you navigate them.
Lynbrook Police Department
The police headquarters at 1 Columbus Drive is open 24 hours, 365 days a year. If you lost something in a public place or at a business, there's a chance someone turned it in to the police. We identify which precinct covers your loss location and help you file the report.
Village Hall
Lynbrook Village Hall, at 1 Columbus Drive, coordinates services across the village. They can direct you to the right department and may hold items turned in at public facilities. We help you prepare the exact information they'll need.
Public Transit (MTA & NICE Bus)
Lost something on a bus? The MTA and Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE Bus) both operate lost and found systems. Items are held at depots and sometimes returned to the driver. We point you to the right transit operator and form to submit your claim.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a cat or dog, time matters. Animal control, local shelters, and community pet groups in Nassau County should all know about your missing pet right away. We help you alert the right organizations and get your pet's information into active search networks. To maximize your chances, file a priority lost pet report.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Lynbrook Police hold lost items?
The Lynbrook Police Department holds items found in their jurisdiction. We recommend checking with them directly at 516-599-3300 (non-emergency) to ask about their specific retention policy, as it can vary by item type.
What if I lost something on a NICE Bus?
NICE Bus requires you to download and email a Lost Item Claim Form, available on their website. We can help you understand what information they'll need and ensure your claim is filed quickly.
How quickly should I report my lost pet?
Immediately. Every hour counts with lost pets. Call the Lynbrook Police non-emergency line at 516-599-3300, then contact local animal shelters and post to community pet groups right away. We help you do this through a single priority pet report.
Will the police call me if they find my item?
They will if they can identify you from ID in your item, or if you file a report. This is why filing early is important. We make sure your report reaches the police so they know to contact you if something matching your description comes in.
What makes ReportLost different from calling the police myself?
ReportLost does the legwork for you. We file the report with the right police precinct, alert lost and found offices, post to active community groups, and keep your report searching for matches for 12 months. You fill out one form, and we handle the rest. You're not an official police service, but we work directly with them and local channels to amplify your report.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We're not the police, but we connect you directly to the Lynbrook Police Department and other official lost and found services. We also keep your report active in the community longer than you could manually, automatically matching new found items with your description throughout your search period.
