Report your lost item now
Once you've filed with ReportLost, you can stop worrying about calling every office and checking social media daily. Your report is in the system, and we'll alert you if a match appears.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Thomaston, whether a wallet, passport, ring, or pet, means contacting multiple places: the police non-emergency line, the transit authority if it was on a bus, the specific business or location where you think you left it. Each agency keeps found items for a limited time, and if your item doesn't turn up in the first few weeks, the trail often goes cold. Most people give up after calling around once or twice.
ReportLost streamlines this process. File once, and we notify the Thomaston Police Department, Connecticut Transit, and relevant local services on your behalf. More importantly, your report doesn't expire after a few weeks: it stays active for 12 months, automatically comparing new found-item announcements and social media posts against your description so you're alerted the moment something matches, without having to check Facebook groups or community boards yourself every day.
