How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost (a purse, a bracelet, your phone), where, and when. We gather the details that matter most to the right local offices.
We route it where it counts
Your report goes to Rockford Police, City Hall, relevant businesses and transit hubs, and gets shared across Kent County community channels. No back-and-forth, no wondering which desk to call.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For your entire search period, we monitor new found items posted by local residents, businesses, and community groups. The moment a credible match appears, we alert you. You can breathe easy knowing your case is still active.
Where to report your loss in Rockford

Rockford Police Department
The Police Department's non-emergency line handles lost item reports and coordinates with local businesses. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and provide the exact details to include when you call.
City Hall
City Hall serves as a coordination point for lost items found in public areas and can direct you to specific departments. We ensure your report is documented with the City Clerk's office.
Gerald R. Ford International Airport
If you lost something at GRR or on the airport grounds, their dedicated Lost and Found team holds items for retrieval. We generate the information needed to file a claim and track the status.
Local shops and public places
Restaurants, retail stores, and public venues throughout Rockford each maintain their own lost and found. We help you identify where you were and connect with the right business.
Lost pets
If you've lost a cat or dog in Rockford, Kent County Animal Shelter and local rescue networks are your first stop. Time is critical with lost pets, and your case deserves priority attention.

The sooner you report, the sooner we start searching
Every hour matters when something goes missing. File your report now, and our team takes it from there—reaching out to police, businesses, and community channels on your behalf. Once your report is active, you're free to focus on other things while we work to match it with found items.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Rockford means checking with the Police Department, City Hall, local shops, and scrolling through several community Facebook groups and Nextdoor posts, all separately. Lost and found systems here aren't connected, and each day that passes without action means fewer chances of recovery. When you need your wallet, ring, or phone back, speed and coordination matter.
ReportLost simplifies that entire process. One report, filed once, reaches all the right places at once. We generate the exact details each office needs, point you to the right people, and keep your case active in the background for months. You won't have to re-post, re-call, or re-check social media yourself—your report continues working for you, automatically matching against new found items as they come in.
