How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to reach the right local channels in Posen.
We route it for you
Your report goes directly to the Posen Police Department, Village of Posen administration, relevant lost and found offices, and gets posted across active local social networks so the community can help.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and continues to match against new found item posts, community updates, and local marketplace listings. You receive alerts if a potential match surfaces, so you don't have to monitor everything yourself.
Where your lost item might be
The main places to report and search
Posen Police Department
Report a lost item directly to the police, especially if you suspect theft or want an official incident record. You can reach them by phone or in person at their office on Walter Zimny Drive. We generate the exact details to include and let you know which department handles reports from your location.
Village of Posen Administration
Lost an item in a public space or village facility? Contact Village Hall during business hours. They can direct you to the right department and help you file a lost item report. We handle the phone call and paperwork details so you don't have to repeat yourself.
Local businesses and public spaces
Restaurants, shops, gas stations, and parks in Posen often hold items left behind by customers and visitors. Call ahead to describe what you lost, or visit in person during business hours. We can help you identify which business or venue to contact based on where you lost your item.
Lost pet? Act immediately
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in or around Posen, time is critical. Contact local animal shelters, post on pet-specific Facebook groups, and call the Anti-Cruelty Society to report your missing companion. We recommend filing a priority lost pet report to activate our dedicated pet search network.

Every minute counts, but you're not alone
Getting your report in quickly improves the odds of recovery. Once submitted, you can breathe easy, knowing your information is already circulating through Posen's key channels and will keep being checked against new finds for months to come.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Posen throws you into a fragmented system: the police have their intake process, the Village offices have another, community Facebook groups operate separately, and local businesses each keep their own lost and found bins. Tracking down your wallet, ring, or phone means making multiple calls, visiting multiple desks, and checking multiple online channels yourself every few days.
ReportLost simplifies that. A single report reaches every relevant authority and community channel in Posen at once, and stays active in the background for up to a year, automatically cross-checking new found items and local posts so you can move forward with your day. Once you've reported, your search continues without you.
