How ReportLost works in Lexington
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Whether it's your wallet, your keys, your ring, or your dog, we capture all the details.
We route it to the right places
We notify the Lexington Police Department, Henderson County Sheriff's Office, local businesses where you lost it, and post it to the community channels your neighbors actually check.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For up to 12 months, your report stays active and continues to cross-check new posts, found items alerts, and community announcements. You get alerted the moment a credible match surfaces, so you're not refreshing Facebook groups or calling offices every day.
Where to report a lost item in Lexington

Lexington Police Department
Lost items reported to police may be logged and held at their office on First Street. We generate the exact report to submit and tell you which desk handles property recovery.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Lexington means calling the police, checking with the Sheriff's Office, phoning around to stores and restaurants, posting on multiple Facebook groups, and hoping someone gets back to you. The channels don't always talk to each other, and by the time you've made all the calls, days have passed. ReportLost bridges that gap by submitting your loss to all the right places at once, and then keeping your report active so you're not doing the legwork alone.
Once you file your report with us, your wallet, purse, ring, bracelet, phone, keys, or lost pet is tracked across local lost and found systems, community posts, and merchant databases for the entire duration of your search. You focus on your day; we make sure the right people see the right description at the right time, and alert you immediately when something matches.
