Why report sooner rather than later
The sooner your loss is documented, the sooner local services and community volunteers can start looking. Once you've filed your report with us, the search becomes automatic, and your item stays in the system for months. You've done your part, the process handles the rest.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Ferguson, whether it's a wallet in a downtown shop, a ring at a restaurant, a phone on the bus, or a cat wandering the neighborhood, sends you bouncing between the police department, the city, transit customer service, and social media groups. Each service has its own lost & found, its own process, and its own response time, and none of them talk to each other.
ReportLost simplifies that maze. You file one report with us, and we contact Ferguson Police Department, St. Louis County Animal Care & Control, Metro Transit, and the right community channels on your behalf. Then your report stays active in the background, continuously scanning for matches against new found items and announcements, so you can focus on your day while we keep searching for you.
