How ReportLost works in Chadron
You tell us what you lost
Describe your lost item, where and when you lost it, and how to reach you. We gather the details that matter most to recovery.
We connect you to the right people
Your report goes straight to the Chadron Police Department, City Transit lost and found, and the community channels where locals post found items. We handle the routing so you don't have to contact each office separately.
Your report keeps searching for you
While you go about your day, your report remains active, automatically crosschecking new found posts and community alerts against your description. We notify you if a credible match emerges, so you're not checking Facebook groups and bulletin boards yourself every single day.

Frequently asked questions
How long do police departments and City Transit keep lost items?
The Chadron Police Department and City Transit typically hold items for a set period before disposal or donation. Call them directly to ask their specific holding window. When you file a ReportLost report, we note the holding periods so you know your search timeline.
What should I tell the police or transit when I call?
Be specific: describe the color, size, brand, any unique marks or serial numbers, and exactly when and where you lost it. The more detail, the easier it is to identify. We generate a summary of the key details for you to share, so nothing important gets missed.
Can I file a report on behalf of someone else?
Yes. If you're reporting a loss for a family member or friend, provide their contact information so we can reach them if a match is found. They should be the one to claim the item.
What if my item is found after I've already checked with the police?
This happens often. Items are turned in hours or days after the loss. Your ReportLost report stays active and keeps searching even if you've already called once. If a new match appears, we alert you immediately.
How long does ReportLost search for my item?
Your report remains active for up to 12 months, depending on your search period. During that time, we continuously cross-check new found posts, community alerts, and marketplace listings against your description. You choose how long you want active coverage.
Is ReportLost official or affiliated with the Chadron Police Department?
No. ReportLost is an independent service. We don't replace the police or transit office. Instead, we make reporting faster and reach more channels at once. Our team notifies the right local offices on your behalf and keeps your search active in the background so you don't have to.
