How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details we need to alert the right offices and channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to Fort Knox Law Enforcement, relevant local shelters if it's a pet, and community groups actively searching for lost items in the area.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your report automatically cross-references new found posts, shelter arrivals, and community notices. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every day.
Where to report locally
If you prefer to report directly, here's how to reach each service. We can do it for you.
Fort Knox Law Enforcement
The Law Enforcement Division handles lost and found items reported on the installation. We identify which precinct or department handles your loss location and prepare your report with the exact details they need.
Fort Knox Installation Services
The main installation office can direct you to the right department or lost and found desk depending on where your item was lost. We point you to the specific office and help ensure your report reaches them quickly.
Lost pet?
If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing in the Fort Knox area, the Hardin County Animal Shelter and local rescue groups are your first responders. They maintain records of found animals and can check shelters across the region. We help coordinate your pet's description to reach them and community networks faster, and we file a priority lost pet report that stays active to match your pet against new arrivals and sightings.
Community channels
Fort Knox and Hardin County have active Facebook groups dedicated to lost and found items and pets. We post your report to these groups and monitor them for matches, so you don't have to.

Report now, search later
The sooner you file your report, the sooner we can alert the Fort Knox community and start matching your lost item against found posts. Once your report is submitted, you can relax—your search is active 24/7.
Report my lost item →Fort Knox is a sprawling military installation where items disappear in administrative buildings, recreation areas, parking lots, and the surrounding Hardin County community. Between the base's multiple departments, local police, animal services, and dozens of community Facebook groups, coordinating a search can feel overwhelming. A lost wallet, phone, or beloved pet can slip through the cracks when you're trying to contact everyone separately.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. Submit your loss once, and we alert Fort Knox Law Enforcement, the Hardin County Animal Shelter, and the active local community groups searching for lost pets and items. Better yet, your report remains active and working for you for months, automatically flagging potential matches as new found items come in, so you can focus on other things while the search continues in the background.

Depending on your situation, you may also choose to file a separate report directly with law enforcement; we can help you understand what's best for your loss.
