How It Works
You report your loss
Fill out what you lost, where, and when. We gather all the details we need, so you don't have to repeat yourself to multiple offices.
We connect it to the right places
Your report goes to the Jeffersonville Police Department, TARC Lost & Found if it was on a bus, animal control if it's a pet, and posts to local community groups where people actively share found items.
Your report keeps searching for you
For the duration of your search period, your report stays active, automatically cross-checking new posts, found listings, and community alerts. You get notified the moment a credible match appears, so you're not checking Facebook groups and lost & found pages every single day.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the better.
Starting your report today means your description goes into circulation right away, and our system begins checking for matches across all channels. The longer you wait, the more likely the item moves on or gets discarded. Once you file, you can step back and let us handle the legwork.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Jeffersonville often means making the rounds: a call to the police non-emergency line, a trip to the animal shelter on Willinger Lane if it's a pet, checking TARC's lost and found if it was on the bus, and scrolling through half a dozen Facebook groups hoping someone spotted it. Each channel works separately, and they're all on different schedules.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report, submitted once, reaches all the right people and stays active in the background while you go about your day. We make sure the Jeffersonville Police Department gets what they need, we alert transit services, we contact animal control, and we post to the community spaces where locals actually share found items. You don't have to be the one hunting across every platform for six months, your report does the work.
