Report my lost item →Losing something in Wheat Ridge is stressful, and figuring out who to call is half the battle. Should you go to the police? Check RTD if it was on a bus? Post to Facebook? The city's lost and found ecosystem is fragmented, which means your item might be sitting in someone's office while you're calling the wrong department.
ReportLost simplifies that. One form, and we coordinate with Wheat Ridge Police, City Hall, transit, animal control, and every major social channel where locals post found items. Better yet, we don't stop there. After you file, we monitor the web on your behalf for months, searching for posts that match your loss so you can focus on your day instead of checking groups and forums yourself.
