The sooner you report, the sooner we connect you
Your report is most effective when filed quickly, while memory is fresh and items are still being sorted by local offices. Once you've submitted your details to us, you can relax—our team takes it from there.
Report my lost item →Losing your wallet, keys, phone, or beloved pet in Union is stressful enough without having to track down which police precinct to call, check the city lost and found, contact animal control, and scroll through Facebook groups every single day. The City of Union, Boone County Sheriff's Office, and local community networks all handle lost items, but they operate separately, and there's no single place to make sure your report reaches everyone who can help.
ReportLost simplifies this. File one report with us, and we route it to Union Police, the Sheriff's Office, animal control, and active community channels. The difference: your report doesn't just sit in one office. It stays active for months, continuously matching against new found items posted online and in local networks. You won't have to re-post or re-check every day. Once you've filed, the search continues for you.
