How ReportLost works for Thompson residents
You file the report
You tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to reach the right local department or service.
We route it to the right places
We file the report where the town and state departments accept third-party reports, and give you the exact office, phone, and steps where they do not. Your description is shared with local police, Animal Control, transit, and airport services as needed.
Your report stays active and searching
For 12 months, your report automatically cross-references new found items, lost pet posts, and marketplace listings against your description. You get an alert if a credible match appears, so you don't have to check social media and bulletin boards yourself regularly.

Start your search now
The sooner you report, the sooner we begin matching your description against found items and community posts. Your report stays active for a full year, so even if your item doesn't surface immediately, you remain in the search.
Report my lost item →Thompson is a small, close-knit town, but losing a wedding ring, passport, wallet, or family pet can happen anywhere—at the town center, along local roads, or while using regional services like the bus or airport. When an item goes missing, the search feels important, and the different places that might have it—town police, Animal Control, local businesses, Connecticut Transit, or Bradley Airport—don't always communicate with each other.
ReportLost simplifies that search. Instead of calling each office separately and hoping your item turns up, you file one report and we notify the relevant departments and keep your search active for you. Your description stays in play for 12 months, continuously matched against new found items and community posts, so you can focus on your day while the work continues in the background.

If I lost something on a CTtransit bus, how do I claim it?

Can ReportLost file a report with Thompson Police or the town if they don't accept third-party reports?
ReportLost files the report where departments accept third-party filings. If a particular office does not, we provide you with the exact phone number, address, and steps to file directly—and we'll walk you through it. Either way, your report stays active in our system for 12 months, continuously matching against new found items and community posts.
How does ReportLost find my lost item after I file?
We notify the relevant local departments and services. We also track new found items, lost pet posts on social media, marketplace listings, and community posts for 12 months, automatically cross-referencing them against your description. You'll receive an alert if a credible match appears, so you don't have to monitor sites and platforms yourself.
Is ReportLost.org official? Do I still need to contact the police or town?
ReportLost is an independent service, not part of the town or state government. We complement official channels rather than replace them. We file reports where departments accept third-party reports and guide you on how to report directly where they don't. In all cases, your information goes to the relevant local services, and we maintain an active search on your behalf for 12 months.
