How it works
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where and when you lost it. A wallet, ring, phone, purse, or beloved pet. We capture all the details that matter.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to Prince George's County Police, Animal Services if it's a pet, local Facebook groups, and other community channels that can actually help. No runaround.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your report stays active and matches against new found items, lost pet posts, and community alerts. You don't have to check every group every day, we do that for you.

Report lost items, theft, or found property. The non-emergency line will direct you to the appropriate precinct and help you file a report. We tell you exactly which precinct covers your location and what information to have ready.
Prince George's County Animal Services
Lost or found a pet, dog, or cat? Animal Services maintains a searchable database of lost and found animals, and staff can help match your description. Call their team and visit in person if possible to check their current arrivals. For faster results, file a priority lost pet report.
Maryland Transit Administration (MTA)

The clock is moving, but you don't have to.
The sooner you file a report, the sooner every channel springs into action. Once it's in the system, your report is working 24/7, checking new posts and alerts for you. That peace of mind starts with one click.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Brandywine means contacting the police, checking Animal Services, posting to multiple Facebook groups, and refreshing those pages daily, hoping someone noticed your wallet or spotted your cat. That's a lot of channels, a lot of admin, and a lot of anxiety while you're waiting. The systems don't talk to each other, so your report stays siloed unless you manually move it around.
ReportLost simplifies this. One form, one submission, and we make sure the right people and platforms get the word. Once your report is filed, your item or pet stays in active search for months, matched continuously against new found items and posts, while you can focus on other things. You're no longer doing the legwork alone, and your report doesn't go cold after a week.
