How ReportLost helps
You report the loss
Submit your details through our straightforward form: what you lost, where, and when. We gather the information needed to file efficiently with the right local authority.
We route it to the right places
We file your report with the Willimantic Police Department or the relevant department, depending on where you lost your item. If it was on a bus, in the airport, or at a local business, we point you to the exact office that holds found items and provide the contact details and next steps.
Your report stays active and searching
For 12 months, your report matches automatically against new found item posts, shelter listings, and online announcements. You don't check back every week; we alert you when a credible match appears, giving you a second path to recovery beyond the initial report.
