Report my lost item →Ridge sits in the heart of Westchester County, a vibrant mix of shopping districts, transit hubs, and residential neighborhoods. Whether you've lost your wallet at a local business, left your phone on the bus, or misplaced a cherished ring during a day out, tracking down your item means contacting multiple agencies: the police, the transit authority, local merchants, and community groups. These channels rarely talk to each other, so your lost item can slip through the cracks.
