Lost something in Norwich? Here is where to report it.
One report and we route it to the Norwich Police Department, the relevant lost & found offices, and active local community channels. Your report stays active, keeping tabs on new posts and found items so you don't have to check manually every day.
What did you lose?

Publishing your report is free and your details stay private. The assisted search is a separate paid service, described in the Terms.

How ReportLost works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter most to the police, local businesses, and community.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Norwich Police Department, City Hall, local transit if relevant, and gets posted to the channels where Norwich residents actively share found items.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report continues to match against new found items posted online and shared in the community. You get an alert as soon as a credible match surfaces, so your search never stops even while you go about your day.
Where to report a lost item
Each channel plays a role. We handle routing it to all of them.

The sooner you report, the sooner the search starts.
Once your report is filed, you can breathe—the real work is underway. The police have your details, community networks know to look, and your report is actively matching against new found items.
Report my lost item →Norwich is a close-knit community where lost items can end up scattered across the police station, city offices, local shops, and dozens of Facebook groups and community pages. If you've lost a wallet, ring, phone, or anything else, the first instinct is to call around, post everywhere yourself, and check back repeatedly. That's exhausting, and critical leads slip through the cracks when reports sit in separate systems that don't talk to each other.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One form, submitted once, reaches the right authorities and channels automatically. But here's what saves you the most time: your report stays active and continues to search on its own for months. Every new found item posted online gets matched against your description. You don't have to refresh Facebook groups or call every shop daily—your signalement works for you around the clock.
