The First Hour Counts
File your report while details are fresh and before items get moved, relocated, or sold. Once submitted, you can step back, your report starts routing to the right channels and monitoring begins.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Dyer means contacting the police, checking with animal control if it's a pet, scanning Facebook groups, calling local businesses, and refreshing pages daily. Each system works independently, and nothing stays in front of people's eyes for long. It's exhausting, and most lost items get overlooked within the first week.
ReportLost changes that. File one report and we automatically notify the Dyer Police Department, coordinate with animal control, and push your description to the community spaces where Dyer residents actually report found items. Better yet, your report stays active, continuously matching against new posts and listings for months. You can breathe once you've reported, knowing the search continues without you having to do the legwork yourself.

Questions About Lost Items in Dyer
How long will police keep my lost item report active?
The Dyer Police Department will log your report, but active police investigation typically focuses on high-value or stolen items. That's why ReportLost keeps your report searching for months, matching against new found posts and community listings the police won't actively monitor.
Do I need to visit the police station in person to file a report?
For most lost items, you can call the non-emergency line at 219-865-1163 or email police@townofdyer.com. However, if you file through ReportLost, we handle the routing and documentation so you don't have to coordinate multiple calls.
What if I lost a pet in Dyer?
Call Dyer Animal Control at 219-865-1163 immediately and contact Humane Indiana at 219-922-3811 ext. 211. Post on local Facebook groups like '219 Lost and Found Pets' right away. ReportLost also offers a dedicated lost pet report that reaches all relevant channels at once.
How quickly should I report a lost item?
The sooner the better. Lost items are most likely to be found or remembered by others within the first few hours or days. File your report as soon as you realize something is missing, while people still remember seeing it.
What information should I include when reporting a lost item?
Be specific: color, brand, distinctive markings, serial number if available, exact location where you lost it, and date/time. The more detail you provide, the easier it is for finders to match your description to what they've found.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace filing a police report?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Dyer Police Department or any official government agency. We complement the police report by coordinating across local channels and keeping your report actively searching for months. For items you suspect were stolen, file a police report first. For items you genuinely misplaced, ReportLost covers the search legwork that police don't.
