Report my lost item →Garden City spreads across multiple jurisdictions, and when you lose something, it could turn up anywhere from downtown to the airport, on a Finney County Transit bus, or posted in any number of community groups. The police department, the sheriff's office, local transit, and community members all operate separately, each with their own lost and found channels. Trying to contact them all, remember which one you called, and then keep hunting through Facebook and Nextdoor for weeks is exhausting.
ReportLost bridges that gap. Submit one report, and we make sure it reaches every authority and community channel in Garden City that matters. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching after you file it. It stays active for months, continuously matching against new found items so you can focus on your day instead of refreshing your browser.
