How it works
You submit your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details we need to reach the right local offices and groups.
We route it everywhere
We notify the Sunbury Police Department, City Hall, Rabbit Transit (if applicable), and post alerts to the local Facebook communities and Nextdoor where residents and found-item hunters are already looking.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and automatically matches new found-item posts, local marketplace listings, and announcements. You get an alert as soon as a credible match appears, so you don't have to check daily.

Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, phone, or other important item in Sunbury can feel chaotic. Between contacting the police department, checking the city's lost and found, calling Rabbit Transit, and scrolling through multiple Facebook groups, you end up repeating the same information to different people and tracking multiple channels for weeks.
ReportLost eliminates that scatter. You report once with us, and we notify Sunbury Police, City Hall, local transit, and the community groups where your item is most likely to turn up. Better still, your report doesn't go dormant after a day or two, it stays active and keeps searching for a match across new posts and found-item announcements for your entire search period, so you can focus on your day while we keep looking.
