Report my lost item →

Losing something important in Farmington means reaching out to multiple places, from the police department on West Main Street to City Hall to community Facebook groups, and often you're unsure which one has your item or whether anyone's still looking weeks later. Between the Police Department's administrative hours, City Hall's office days, and animal control procedures, it's easy to fall through the cracks.

ReportLost simplifies the whole process. You file once, and we make sure your wallet, ring, phone, cat, or dog gets in front of the Farmington Police, City Hall staff, the Washington County Animal Shelter, and active community networks. Best part: your report doesn't disappear after a week. It stays live for months, automatically cross-checking new found posts and alerts so you can focus on your day while we keep searching.
