How ReportLost Works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather all the details needed to get traction with the right agencies and community groups.
We route it everywhere that matters
Your report goes to Baltimore County Police, local animal control if it's a pet, BWI Airport if relevant, and the community channels where Baltimore Highlands residents actually look. You don't have to call each place yourself.
Your report stays active and searching
For 12 months, your report keeps matching against new found item posts, social channels, and marketplace listings. You get an alert as soon as a credible match surfaces, so you're not doing the searching yourself every single day.

Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, ring, or beloved pet in Baltimore Highlands means navigating multiple channels: Baltimore County Police for theft reports, animal control for missing pets, Facebook groups and Reddit threads where locals post finds, and the lost & found offices at BWI Airport if you were traveling. Each place operates separately, and there's no single system that pulls everything together.
ReportLost bridges that gap. File once, and we make sure the right people in Baltimore Highlands know about your loss right away. Then your report keeps working for you in the background, automatically cross-checking new posts and listings for a match over the months ahead, so you can focus on your day instead of checking the same groups and sites over and over.
