Questions about losing and finding items in South Lockport
How long does the Lockport Police Department hold lost items?
The police typically hold found property for 30 to 90 days, though this can vary. Call the Records Division at 716-439-6717 to confirm the holding period and check if your item has been logged. This is one reason ReportLost's active search is valuable: we keep your report live for months, beyond most police holding windows.
What if I lost my item on the street or in a public place?
File a report with the Lockport Police Department (non-emergency 716-433-7700) and contact City Hall (716-439-6676). Mention the specific location, date, and time. A report with ReportLost ensures these details reach both offices and are shared across community channels where someone may have already posted a photo.
I lost a ring at a store or restaurant. What do I do?
Call the business directly first, ask to speak with a manager, and describe the item and when you lost it. Then file a police report and include the store name and address; this creates an official record. ReportLost generates the details you'll need so nothing gets lost in translation.
How does ReportLost help me find my wallet faster than calling around myself?
A wallet posted as found in a Facebook group or mentioned to Animal Control might never reach the police, and you wouldn't see it unless you were scrolling at that exact moment. ReportLost sends your report to police, city hall, and shares it across the channels where items actually get posted and discussed. Then your report stays active for 12 months, automatically matching new found posts, so you don't have to check multiple websites every day.
Does ReportLost contact the Buffalo Niagara Airport lost and found for me?
If you lost something at or near the airport, we make sure your report includes the airport's lost and found contact info and advise you to call them directly at 716-634-0315 ext. 7. We also ensure your item description circulates through local channels where airport employees and community members might see it. You can file a formal claim with the airport itself; we handle the rest.
Is ReportLost.org official? Does it replace filing a police report?
ReportLost is an independent service, not part of the Lockport Police Department or any government agency. We complement official reporting, not replace it. We route your information to the police and relevant local offices and keep your search active across community channels. For a legal record, always file a formal report with the police directly.
