Why report through ReportLost
When you report here, we make sure the Tiverton Police Department knows about your lost item, notify RIPTA if it might be on a bus, and keep the details circulating across local found-item alerts for a full year. You won't have to repeat your story or chase down each office separately.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Tiverton can mean contacting different departments: the police for items turned in as found property, RIPTA if it happened on a bus, or individual businesses if you left it at a local shop or restaurant. Each channel operates separately, and tracking down which one has your item takes time and repeated calls.
ReportLost simplifies this by filing your report where it belongs, alerting the right services in one step, and keeping your description active across all local channels for the full year. You provide the details once, and the system works to match your lost item against anything reported as found, without you checking back every week.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Tiverton Police Department hold lost items?
Contact the police department directly at (401) 625-6716 to ask about their retention period for found property. Items held longer than the standard period may be donated or disposed of, so reporting your loss early ensures they set it aside for you.
How do I claim something left on a RIPTA bus?
Call or visit the RIPTA lost and found office during business hours (8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 3:45 PM, Monday through Friday). Have your item description ready. If you report through ReportLost, we'll have already notified them on your behalf.
What if I lost something at a local shop or restaurant?
Contact the business directly first. ReportLost can help you identify the most likely place and provide guidance on what to ask, but businesses often hold items briefly at the point of loss before turning them in to police or donating them.
What should I do if I lost my passport or ID card in Tiverton?
Report the loss to the Tiverton Police Department immediately. For passport replacement, you'll need to contact the U.S. State Department or visit a passport acceptance facility. ID cards can often be replaced through the Rhode Island DMV. ReportLost will file a report with police to check their found property records.
How long will ReportLost search for my item?
Your report remains active and continues to match against found items, community posts, and alerts for 12 months from the date you file. During this time, you don't need to check back; we alert you if we find a match.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace the police?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that files reports with official agencies like the Tiverton Police Department and RIPTA on your behalf, then continues to monitor local channels for matches. We don't replace police reports, but we simplify the process of reaching the right departments and keeping your item searchable while you move forward.
