How ReportLost Works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We generate a clear description and gather all the details needed to alert the right offices and community channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Old Town Police Department's lost and found, relevant local businesses, the Animal Orphanage if it's a pet, and your choice of community groups and social channels.
Your report keeps searching for you
For the entire search period, your report remains active and continues to match against new found item posts, community alerts, and local marketplaces. You'll be notified the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check back every day.
Where to Report in Old Town
A breakdown of the main places to file a lost item report, and what ReportLost does at each step.
Old Town Police Department
The police department maintains a lost and found log for items reported in Old Town. You can call to ask whether your item has been turned in, or file a formal report. ReportLost identifies which precinct serves your loss location and generates the exact information to include when you call.
Old Town City Hall
City Hall serves as a central point for local lost and found inquiries and can direct you to the right department or business. Staff can also post notices or connect you with community channels. We point you to the right desk and ensure your report reaches the city's attention.
Community Volunteer Transit Drivers (CVTD)
If you left something on a CVTD bus, items are kept in the lost and found for a set period. Call the transit center to report and ask them to check for your item. ReportLost ensures CVTD is notified of your report if it occurred on transit.
Old Town Municipal Airport
If you lost an item at Dewitt Field or left something on a charter flight, the airport's lost and found is available through their office. ReportLost includes airport staff in the alert if your loss occurred there.
Lost or Found Pet
If your cat or dog is missing, contact the Animal Orphanage, the local no-kill shelter, immediately. They admit strays through police and animal control, and can check their intake records. For a comprehensive search combining shelter alerts, community posts, and ongoing matching, file a priority lost pet report.

The faster you report, the better your chances.
Getting your lost item in front of police, local businesses, and the community immediately increases the odds of recovery. Once your report is filed, you can relax knowing the search is underway and your description is working for you every day.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Old Town can feel like stepping into a maze of separate systems. The police have a lost and found desk, local businesses keep their own records, community Facebook groups post found items constantly, and if you're searching for a pet, the Animal Orphanage and local rescues are separate from the police. It's easy to fall through the cracks.
ReportLost simplifies this. File once, and we immediately notify the Old Town Police Department, connect you with the right lost and found channels, alert community members through social networks, and keep your report live in the background for months. While you carry on with your day, your description stays active and automatically matches against new found items posted anywhere in Old Town, so you'll know the moment there's a real lead.
