Already know where you lost it?
If you've pinpointed the location, ReportLost will draft your report with all the details you need and tell you exactly where to send it. Otherwise, start with a report and we'll route it to the right place.
Report my lost item →Losing something important in Griswold means contacting several separate places, each with its own process, hours, and phone line. A ring lost downtown, a wallet left on a CTtransit bus, or a lost dog spotted near Route 138 all require different calls. Without a single point of entry, items slip through gaps and people spend days calling around.
ReportLost simplifies this. File once, and we reach the Connecticut State Police, town animal control, transit services, and the community channels where locals report finds. Your report then remains active for a full year, continuously matching against new found items, so you can focus on your day while the search continues behind the scenes.
