Where to report a lost item in Scarsdale
Each office below takes reports separately. ReportLost handles all of them in one go.
Scarsdale Police Department
The primary place to file an official lost item report. They maintain lost and found records and can help identify where your item was lost. We prepare your report details and route it to the right precinct so you know exactly what they're tracking.
Scarsdale Village Hall
Village Hall coordinates with local departments and can direct you to the right office for your specific loss. Items found in village parks or public spaces often end up here. We guide you to the exact desk and provide the information they need.
School & Transit Lost and Found
Items left on Scarsdale school buses or Westchester County transit are held at the Transportation Office. Westchester County also manages regional bus routes. We ensure your report reaches the right transit lost and found so your item isn't overlooked.
Westchester County Airport
If you lost an item at Westchester County Airport, their dedicated lost and found processes claims quickly. Larger regional airports like LaGuardia and JFK also accept reports. We connect you with the airport that matches your loss location.
Lost pet
Pets need faster action. SPCA Westchester serves Scarsdale and holds lost animals for a limited time. The Humane Society of Westchester and local Facebook groups like Lost PETS of Westchester County NY also reunite owners with animals daily. Acting quickly and reporting to multiple places at once makes all the difference. If your pet is missing, file a priority lost pet report.

Report my lost item →Lose a wallet, ring, or phone in Scarsdale and you're juggling phone calls to the police, the village clerk's office, bus lost and founds, and hoping someone posts about your item on Facebook. The systems don't talk to each other, and neither do you have time to check them all yourself. ReportLost changes that: one report consolidates everything, reaching every office and channel at once.
What makes the real difference is the waiting game that follows. Most people give up after a few days of searching, but lost items turn up for months. Your ReportLost report stays active for your entire search period, continuously cross-checking new found posts, transit records, and shelter databases so you can stop refreshing your phone and get back to your day.
