Report my lost item →Losing something in Aberdeen means calling the police, checking with local transit, maybe posting on Facebook, and hoping someone checks the right lost and found office.

File your loss once with us, and we make sure the Aberdeen Police Department, City Hall, Ride Line, the airport, and local community channels all know about it. Your report doesn't expire after a week, either. It stays live and keeps scanning for matches for the full duration you choose, so you can get back to your life while we handle the legwork.
