How ReportLost Works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Whether it's a wallet left at a local shop, a ring lost on Main Street, or a beloved cat missing from your neighborhood, we gather the details that matter.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the South Kingstown Police Department's lost property office, animal control if needed, RIPTA (for items left on buses), and gets shared across local community channels where people actively post found items.
Your report keeps searching for you
Instead of checking Facebook groups and local bulletin boards yourself every day, your report stays active and continues to cross-check new found posts, community announcements, and local marketplace activity. You get an alert as soon as a credible match appears.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Kingston is disorienting because the search pulls you in different directions.

Lost keys on a RIPTA bus require a separate call. Each channel works independently, and nobody's connecting them for you.

Then your report stays active for your entire search period, checking for matches as new found items surface. You don't have to refresh pages daily or wonder if you've covered everywhere.
