How ReportLost works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We generate a complete description and pin down which police precinct and local services need to know.
We route to the right places
Your report goes to Clarkstown Police, relevant transit lost-and-found offices, and the community channels where New City residents post found items. No cold-calling or guessing which desk to call.
Automated monitoring finds matches
For the next 12 months, our system scans Facebook groups, Nextdoor posts, local online marketplaces, and community pages for anyone announcing a found item that matches yours. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to refresh the same sites every day.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Reporting a loss quickly gives local services and the community the information they need to keep an eye out. Once your report is filed with ReportLost, you can focus on other things while our monitoring system works in the background.
Report my lost item →New City sits at the heart of Rockland County, with residents moving between town, local transit stops, shops, and community spaces. Losing something here means dealing with multiple services: the local police, bus system customer service, town hall, and scattered community posts across Facebook and Nextdoor. Most people end up calling the same few numbers again and again, or assume their item is gone forever.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File once, and we handle routing your report to Clarkstown Police, Dutchess transit if needed, and the community channels where New City residents post found items. More importantly, our automated monitoring watches the web continuously, so you're not refreshing lost-and-found groups daily. If your item surfaces anywhere public online, we notify you right away.
