How it works
You share what you lost
Tell us the item, where and when you lost it, and any details that matter. A photo helps, but isn't required. We gather everything we need in one simple form.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Eaton Rapids Police Department, the Eaton County Sheriff's Office, and gets posted to the active lost and found groups your neighbors watch every day.
Your report keeps searching
While you carry on, your report matches against new found items, posts, and community alerts for the full search period. You get notified if there's a match, so you don't have to refresh social media or call around constantly.

Eaton Rapids Police Department
The police maintain a lost and found for items turned in by community members or discovered in public spaces. They're your first official point of contact. We generate the details you'll need and submit your report on your behalf, so you don't have to worry about getting the address or best time to call right.

If you left something on a bus or at a transit point, Eaton/Dean Transportation keeps a lost and found table. Items are typically held for a short window, so timing matters. We make sure they know what you're looking for and when.

Items found today are often claimed or donated within days. Filing your report now means it reaches the police, the county, and your community while the trail is freshest. Once it's in, you can relax, your report keeps working for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Eaton Rapids means checking multiple places, calling different offices, and hoping your neighbors spot a post. The police have their lost and found, the county sheriff has another, Facebook groups move fast but fade just as quickly, and private businesses keep items only so long. It's easy to slip through the cracks when everyone handles reports separately.
ReportLost simplifies that. File once, and we make sure your loss reaches the Eaton Rapids Police, the county, and the community channels where locals look. Better yet, your report doesn't stop working after you submit it, it stays active for months, automatically cross-checking against new found items and alerts so you can move forward without watching social media day and night.
