Lost & Found NZ

Helping lost property find its way home.

Coming soon

A better way to reconnect lost property.

Lost & Found NZ is being prepared as a privacy-first service to help people reconnect lost and found items with the people they belong to.

How it works

A simple way to help return items while keeping contact details private.

Post a listing, look for possible matches, and message other people without showing your contact details publicly.

  1. Post a listing

    Add item details, photos where useful, and the approximate place and date it was lost or found.

  2. Find a possible match

    Someone may find the listing by searching or browsing, or the site may suggest a possible match.

  3. Message privately

    Use private messages to ask questions and compare details. Your email address, phone number, and address are not shown to the other person unless you choose to share them.

  4. Return the item

    When both sides are comfortable it is the right item, arrange a safe handover and return it to its owner.

  5. Mark the outcome

    Mark the listing recovered or returned so it no longer appears as active.

Public beta preparation is underway. Follow Lost & Found NZ on Facebook for occasional launch updates as the service gets closer to opening.
