Frequently asked questions about lost items in Sheridan
How long does the Sheridan Police Department hold lost items?
The Police Department typically holds found items for a set period (usually 30 to 90 days, though this can vary). Contact them directly at the non-emergency line to confirm and ask if your item has been turned in. ReportLost files the official report so the item is logged under your name and description.
Should I post on Nextdoor or Facebook first?
Posting immediately on community channels like Nextdoor and the Sheridan Lost & Found Facebook group reaches neighbors fast. Filing an official report with police at the same time creates an official record. ReportLost does both for you.
What if my lost item was in a business or public building?
Call the specific location (store, library, school, etc.) to see if it's been turned in. Also file a police report so there's a record in case someone turns it in to police instead. We help you identify the right places to call based on where you were.
How often should I check for updates about my lost item?
Once you file a report with ReportLost, you don't need to check manually every day. Your report stays active and we alert you as soon as a credible match appears in community posts, police records, or found item listings. You'll hear from us, not the other way around.
Does ReportLost replace filing a police report?
ReportLost is an independent service that files official reports on your behalf with the Sheridan Police Department and routes your information to all relevant local channels. We are not part of the police department or any government agency, but we work with official channels to make sure your loss is recorded and tracked.
