Don't wait to report your loss
The sooner you file a report, the fresher the lead. Once it's in the system, our team and your local contacts start working on it immediately, and your report continues searching for months. You can breathe easier knowing it's active.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, phone, or beloved pet in Prospect can feel like navigating three separate systems at once. The police have their process, the shelter has theirs, and community groups post on Facebook and Nextdoor with no central way to track everything. By the time you've called around, checked multiple pages, and re-described your item a dozen times, leads go cold.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos into one action. File a single report, and we route it to everyone who can help: local law enforcement, animal services, and the community channels where Prospect residents actively share found items. Better yet, your report doesn't stop working after you file it. It stays active for your entire search period, automatically cross-checking new posts and listings so you don't have to refresh Facebook or call the shelter every morning.
