How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We collect the details that matter most to recovery.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Dixon Police Department, City Hall, Granny Rose Animal Shelter (if a pet), and local social networks all at once.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report automatically matches against new posts, community shares, and found item reports. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every day.
Where to report a lost item in Dixon
You can reach out directly to these services. ReportLost coordinates with them all at once.
Dixon Police Department
Report lost items or provide information about found property at the non-emergency line. They log reports and help connect you with recovered items. ReportLost ensures your report reaches the right desk and includes all the details they need.
City of Dixon
Lost items found in public spaces or city facilities can sometimes be reported through City Hall. They may have information about items turned in at municipal offices or events.

The sooner you file, the better.
Reporting early improves the chances your item will be found and recognized. Once your report is in, you can focus on other things. Our system keeps searching and alerts you if a match appears.
Report my lost item →In Dixon, losing something means navigating separate channels: the police non-emergency line, the city, neighborhood groups on Facebook, maybe a call to the animal shelter if it's a pet. Each system works independently, and you end up repeating your story multiple times.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report gets sent where it needs to go, and crucially, it doesn't stop searching after you file it. Your report stays active for months, cross-referencing new found item reports and community posts so you can move forward while the search continues behind the scenes.
