How ReportLost works in Star
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details once so you don't repeat them across multiple channels.
We connect you to the right places
Your report goes to Star Police, Ada County Sheriff, relevant local lost-and-found offices, and community groups where Star residents actively post found items.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, we cross-reference new found posts, community listings, and local marketplace activity with your description. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, no daily checking required.
Where and how to report in Star
The main channels to contact, and how ReportLost fits in
Star Police & Ada County Sheriff
Star Police handles non-emergency reports and can direct you to the right precinct based on where your item was lost. Ada County Sheriff's office covers a wider area if your loss happened outside city limits. ReportLost tells you which agency to contact and generates the exact details to share.
Star City Hall
City Hall keeps records of items turned in to local departments and can direct you to relevant city offices. They also maintain connections to community services where found items are sometimes reported. We know exactly which desk to point you to.
Local Facebook & Community Groups
Star residents actively use Facebook groups and Nextdoor to post found items, especially pets. These groups move fast but are easy to miss if you're not checking constantly. ReportLost monitors these channels for matches to your description automatically, so you catch every relevant post.
