Ready to file your report?
Once filed, your report stays active and continues working for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Palmer means navigating multiple departments: the Police Department holds items turned in by residents and businesses, Mill Towns Regional Animal Control handles lost pets and stray animals, and Palmer Circulator buses keep items left onboard. Without a single lost-and-found registry, you'd need to call each one separately and then check Facebook groups and neighborhood networks yourself.
ReportLost consolidates that work. File one report and we notify the relevant offices, provide you with their contact details and hours, and keep your description circulating through local channels for a full year. Once your report is filed, the continuous search continues on your behalf.
