Where lost items go in Middleton
Each place handles its own lost and found. ReportLost notifies them all for you.
Middleton Police Department
Items found on the street or turned in by residents often end up here. The non-emergency line is the best starting point. We file your report with them right away, so they know to flag your item if it comes in.
City of Middleton
City Hall can assist with items lost in city buildings or public spaces. We can flag your report with them and point you to the right department if you need to follow up.
Lost and found pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in or around Middleton, the Idaho Humane Society, local animal control, and community Facebook groups are your first stops. We connect your lost pet alert to these networks and help ensure shelters are notified. If your pet is missing, file a priority lost pet report with us for expedited outreach.
Shops and businesses
Lost something at a restaurant, store, or other local business? Many keep items at the front counter for a few days. ReportLost helps you identify which businesses to contact based on your loss location, and our report template makes it easy to describe what you're looking for when you reach out.

The sooner you report a loss, the sooner it can be matched with found items entering the system. Getting your details on file with Middleton's police and community channels now means less work later.
Report my lost item →Middleton is a tight-knit community where lost items end up in different places, all managed separately. A wallet might be turned in to the police, a pet to a shelter or Facebook group, a ring to a local business. Without a single point of coordination, these threads rarely connect.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report reaches all the right channels in Middleton at once, and then stays active in the background, automatically cross-checking new found posts and announcements against your description. You'll know quickly if your item has surfaced, without having to repeat the story to each office or monitor social feeds yourself.
