Where to report lost items in St. Andrews
These are the key places items turn up. ReportLost handles contacting them for you, but here's what each does.
Andrews Police Department

Community groups and social channels
St. Andrews residents actively post found items on Facebook and local community pages. These posts often reach finders faster than official channels. We post your report to the relevant local groups, putting your search in front of neighbors who might have seen something.
Lost and found pets

Report my lost item →Losing something in St. Andrews is frustrating, but finding it again doesn't have to be. Items get turned in to the police, left at local businesses, posted in community groups, and reported by neighbors, but each system works separately. A wallet reported to Andrews Police might turn up at a shop on Main Street that no one connected, or a ring found near St Andrews Park might be mentioned in a Facebook group you never see.
ReportLost simplifies this by doing the legwork for you. One report, and we notify the Andrews Police Department, Town of Andrews officials, and the active local lost and found community. Better yet, your report doesn't stop after the first alert, it stays active, automatically matching against new found items and community posts for months, so you can focus on your day while the search continues behind the scenes.
