How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture all the details needed to alert the right local offices and community channels in one go.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Andover Police Department, City Hall, animal control if it's a pet, and relevant local social networks, so you don't have to contact each one separately.
Your report keeps searching for you
For 12 months, your report stays active and automatically matches against new found items posted to local channels, shelters, and community groups. You'll get an alert if there's a credible match, so you're not refreshing pages every day.
Where your lost item might be
These are the main places to report and search in Andover and nearby. We contact them on your behalf.
Andover Police Department
Items turned in to police are held and logged here. The department can also help you file a report and advise on next steps. We generate the exact details to include and point you to the right desk.
Andover City Hall
City Hall is another central point where community members sometimes turn in found items. They can direct you to the appropriate department or provide guidance on lost item procedures in town.
Lost Pet Resources
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, Andover Animal Control works with the Wichita Animal Shelter and regional rescue networks. Time matters with pets, so reporting right away improves the odds of a reunion. To get priority placement and ongoing matching, file a priority lost pet report.
Wichita Airport (ICT)
If you lost an item while traveling through Wichita airport, about 25 minutes from Andover, contact Airport Police and Fire. Items are held in bag claim, the mezzanine, and parking areas.

Report now, search later
The sooner you report a loss, the fresher the lead and the better the chance someone's already spotted it. Once your report is filed, you can relax, we take care of routing it and monitoring for matches.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Andover means checking with the Police Department, City Hall, local Facebook groups, and animal shelters if it's a pet. Each one holds items separately, and there's no single place that ties them all together. That scattered approach means things get harder to track the longer you wait.
ReportLost simplifies this. File one report with us, and we notify the right departments and channels immediately. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching after day one, it stays active and checks for matches across all those places for months to come, so you can focus on your day while the system works for you.
