How it works

📝

You report the loss

Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Whether it's your wallet, ring, phone, or keys, we gather the details that matter most.

🚀

We route it to the right places

Your report reaches Plymouth Police's property division, the City of Plymouth, TheRide, local animal services if needed, and community groups all at once. No more calling around yourself.

🔍

Your report keeps searching

For the entire search period you choose, your report continuously matches against new lost & found posts, marketplace listings, and shelter intakes. You get alerts if a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to check back every day.

Community & Social Groups

Locals in Plymouth actively use Facebook groups and Nextdoor to post and share found items. These channels are where word spreads fast if someone has spotted your loss. We post your report to the right community networks so you don't have to manage multiple posts yourself.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.

The sooner you report, the better

Items are held briefly before they move, get donated, or are discarded. Filing your report now with all the right places ensures your loss has the best chance of being found and returned to you. Once you've submitted your report, the coordination work is done, and your report continues searching on your behalf.

Losing something in Plymouth can mean a frustrating loop of phone calls. Between the City Police, Plymouth Township, TheRide bus service, local shelters, and multiple Facebook groups, the system is fragmented, and items slip through the cracks because no single place knows about them all.

ReportLost simplifies this by filing your report once with all the right channels at once, and then letting your report do the legwork for you. We make sure the information reaches the Police Department's property officers, transit lost & found, animal control if it's a pet, and the community networks where locals actively post found items. Best of all, your report doesn't expire after a day or a week, it stays active for months, automatically cross-checking new posts and alerts so you can move forward with confidence.
