How ReportLost works in Coventry
You report the loss
Describe your lost item (passport, watch, wallet, keys, phone, or anything else) and where you lost it in Coventry. We generate the exact information needed for each relevant channel.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Coventry Police Department, RIPTA if a bus was involved, or the specific location where you lost your item. We file where departments accept third-party reports and provide you with the direct contact information for any office that doesn't.
Your report stays active and keeps searching
For 12 months, your report is cross-checked against new found items, shelter listings, social media posts, and online marketplaces in the Coventry area. You'll receive an alert if a match is found, so you can focus on your day while the search continues.
Where lost items are handled in Coventry
Each channel has its own process. ReportLost connects you to all of them.
Coventry Police Department
Items found on public streets, in parks, and at town events are typically brought to the Police Department. Non-emergency reports can be made by phone. We identify which precinct handles your loss location and provide you with the exact contact details and steps to file.
RIPTA Bus Lost and Found
If you lost something on a RIPTA bus serving Coventry, the bus company maintains a dedicated lost and found office. Items are held for a limited time. We generate the exact details to include when you contact RIPTA customer service.
Stores, Restaurants, and Venues
Local businesses, schools, parks, and public facilities keep lost items at their front desks or customer service areas, typically for 30 to 90 days. Call ahead to ask if your item has been turned in. We help you identify the right location and provide the contact information to call.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a cat or dog, contact Coventry Animal Control immediately and check with local shelters across Rhode Island. Posting on community pet networks is also critical. For a specialized, priority process, file a priority lost pet report.

Ready to file your report?
Once you report, ReportLost handles the routing and maintains an active search for you over the next 12 months. You can focus on your day while we check for matches.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Coventry means navigating separate offices: the Police Department manages items found on streets and in public spaces, RIPTA handles bus discoveries, and shops, parks, and venues keep their own lost and found counters. Without a single registry, retrieving what you've lost often means calling multiple places, checking community boards, and scanning online groups on your own.
ReportLost consolidates that effort. File once, and we alert the Coventry Police, check RIPTA's system, and notify the relevant locations. Most importantly, your report stays active for a full year, automatically cross-matching new found items and community posts so you don't have to revisit the same calls and online searches week after week.
