How ReportLost works in Hamilton
You file one report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture all the details needed to route your case to the right offices and channels in Hamilton and Ravalli County.
We notify the right places
Your report goes directly to Hamilton Police, the Sheriff's office, Bitter Root Humane Association if it's a pet, and gets posted to local lost & found groups and social channels where Hamilton residents are already searching.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and continues matching against new found items, marketplace posts, and community alerts. You get notified if a credible match appears, so you don't have to check Facebook groups and the Sheriff's office every day.

Start your report today
The sooner your loss is reported and routed to Hamilton Police, the Sheriff, and community channels, the better your chances. Once your report is filed, the legwork is done. Our team keeps it active and searching while you get on with your day.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Hamilton means checking multiple places: the Police Department, the Sheriff's office, local lost and found Facebook groups, PawBoost if it's a pet, and scanning online marketplaces yourself. Each agency holds items for a limited time, and posts disappear from community channels within days. Without a central report that stays active, many lost items never find their way home.
ReportLost simplifies this. You report once, and we route your case to every place that matters in Hamilton and the Bitterroot Valley, then keep your report searching continuously. Your wallet, ring, phone, or beloved dog doesn't get forgotten after the first week. You get alerts if someone posts a match, so you can focus on your day while your report works for you.
