White Plains City Hall
City Hall can direct you to specific departments (parks, public spaces, municipal buildings) or advise on local procedures. They're also a good resource if you need to escalate or if your loss happened in a city-operated facility.
Westchester County Airport (HPN)
Lost an item in the terminal or on an aircraft? The airport's Lost and Found processes items found in the main terminal, gates, and baggage claim. We help you connect with the right department at HPN.
