Report my lost item →Losing something in Prospect can feel disorienting, especially when you don't know which office to call first or how long to wait for a response. A misplaced passport, wedding ring, wallet, or set of keys can turn up at the police department, on a bus, at a local shop, or in someone's hands before it reaches any official channel. The town's different services handle lost property separately, and without a clear starting point, items can slip through the cracks.
ReportLost simplifies the process by taking your report and routing it to Prospect Police, local transit, and other relevant services in one submission. Once filed, your report doesn't sit idle; it keeps searching for a match across local social media groups, community boards, and announcements for the full 12 months, so you can stop revisiting the same sites every day and trust that the network is working for you.
