New York : the holding period scales with the item's value: the more it is worth, the longer the police must keep it. A finder must deposit an item worth $20 or more at a police station within 10 days. (New York Personal Property Law §§252-253)

How it works
You describe what you lost
Tell us where, when, and what your item looks like. Include details that matter: the brand of your ring, the color of your wallet, your dog's breed and collar. The more specific, the better our matching.
We route your report to the right places
We connect your lost item report to Nassau County Police, local lost & found offices, and community groups actively watching for recoveries. You don't have to call multiple places or figure out which precinct covers your area, we do that for you.
Your report keeps searching while you move forward
For your entire search period, your report stays active and matches against new found item posts, marketplace listings, and community alerts. You'll get notified if a credible match appears, so you don't have to check Facebook groups or local sites every single day.
Where to report and how ReportLost helps
These are the official channels. ReportLost connects you to them and keeps your search running 24/7.
Nassau County Police
The primary place to file a lost property report in Roosevelt. They maintain a database of recovered items and connect with local precincts. ReportLost tells you the exact precinct covering your loss location and generates the key details they'll need.
Town of Hempstead (Local Government)
Roosevelt is part of the Town of Hempstead. Their offices can direct you to specific lost & found locations and help coordinate with village services. We point you to the right department for your situation.
Public Transit & Bus Services
If you lost your purse or phone on a bus, contact the relevant transit authority. NYC Transit operates many routes in and around Roosevelt, and the MTA Lost and Found office handles items left on subways and buses. ReportLost ensures we flag your item to the right carrier.
Lost Pets
Losing a dog or cat in Roosevelt requires immediate action and specialized help. Animal shelters, rescue networks, and community pet groups move fast. If your pet is missing, file a priority lost pet report with us, and we'll ensure shelters and local pet networks know right away.

The sooner you report, the sooner we start searching for you
Once your item is in the system, the legwork is done. Your report activates across police databases, local lost & found offices, and community channels. Every day counts, but once you file with us, your search runs on its own.
Report my lost item →Roosevelt sits at the crossroads of Nassau County life, where people lose things at work, on the bus, at local shops, and in the confusion of daily routines. A wallet disappears from a desk. A ring slips off at a restaurant. A cat wanders away from home. The problem is that lost items get reported to different places, different systems don't talk to each other, and by the time you've called the police, checked the local lost & found, posted on three Facebook groups, and scoured marketplace sites, weeks have passed.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report. One form. We automatically route your lost item to Nassau County Police, contact the right local offices, and alert community channels. But the real advantage is that your report doesn't stop working after you submit it. It stays active, continuously matching your description against new found items, posts, and community alerts for your entire search period. You can breathe, knowing the search continues without you having to refresh pages every morning.
