Every minute counts, but so does lasting help.
The sooner you report a loss, the better. Once your report is filed, our team takes over routing and monitoring, so you can breathe easy knowing your case is working behind the scenes.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Westwood can feel isolating. The local police department, city services, and community groups all maintain separate channels, and checking each one repeatedly is exhausting. A wallet gone missing at a local store, a beloved dog that slipped away near the park, a set of keys lost at a gathering, or your phone left on a bus becomes a fragmented search across multiple systems.
ReportLost simplifies that. File once, and we route your report to Boyd County Sheriff's Office, relevant local authorities, and active Westwood community networks. Better yet, your report doesn't disappear after you file it, it stays active searching for a match for months, continuously monitoring new found items and community reports so you can focus on your life instead of refreshing Facebook every hour.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Boyd County Sheriff's Office keep found items?
Items held by law enforcement are typically kept for a limited period before disposal. We recommend filing your report immediately and asking the Sheriff's Office directly about their retention schedule for your specific item type.
What if I lost my item months ago, is it still worth reporting?
Yes. Pets and other items are sometimes found weeks or months after going missing, especially in a close-knit community like Westwood. Your report stays active for 12 months, increasing the chance of a match if your item surfaces.
Do I need to contact each service separately, or does ReportLost do it for me?
ReportLost does the routing. You file one report with us, and we ensure the relevant Boyd County Sheriff's Office desk, city contacts, and community networks are notified. You don't have to make individual calls to each agency.
What information should I include in my report?
Be as specific as possible: describe the item (color, brand, distinctive marks), note the exact date and location of loss, and include any serial numbers or identifying details. We help you format this for the right agencies.
How do I search for my lost pet in local shelters?
Contact Lexington Fayette Animal Care and Control at (859) 255-9033 x233 or visit in person. We also alert pet networks immediately when you file a lost pet report with us, so the search is broadcast across multiple channels.
Is ReportLost.org official or part of the police department?
ReportLost is an independent service, not run by law enforcement. We partner with and route reports to official agencies like the Boyd County Sheriff's Office, but we are a separate platform designed to simplify the process of reporting and searching. Filing with ReportLost does not replace filing with police if legally required, but it ensures your case reaches the right local channels and stays active in the background.
