Ready to Report?
The sooner you file, the sooner your report starts working for you across all channels. Once it's submitted, we handle the routing and you'll get alerts as matches come in.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Covington can feel scattered. Between Covington Police, City Hall, the local TANK bus system, Kenton County Animal Services, and countless Facebook groups and Nextdoor communities, getting your lost item in front of the right people takes time and energy. Each office, each group, each platform works separately. A police report doesn't automatically reach the transit lost and found. A post in one Facebook group doesn't reach another.
ReportLost cuts through that fragmentation. File one report and we route it to all the right channels at once, from the Covington Police Department to local community networks. Then, instead of you refreshing search results and visiting pages every day, your report stays active and keeps hunting for matches for the next 12 months. The moment something credible surfaces, you're notified. You can breathe and get on with your life.
