Where Lost Items Go in Kermit
These are the agencies and channels that typically handle lost and found in the area. ReportLost submits your details to all of them.
Kermit Police Department
The Police Department maintains lost and found records for items reported in the city. Officers log lost property and can help connect you with found items. We file your report directly with them so they have your complete details and contact information.
City of Kermit Services
City Hall can direct lost items found in municipal spaces, parks, and public facilities. They coordinate with various city departments and can check logs from public areas. We provide City Hall with your report so they know what to watch for.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, the City of Kermit Animal Shelter is your first stop. The shelter takes in stray animals and maintains records for lost and found pets. The community also shares pet alerts on Facebook groups. For the fastest response and ongoing search support, file a priority lost pet report.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Items are most likely to be found and held in the first few days after loss. Reporting to the Police Department, City Hall, and community channels right away ensures you're in their system before the trail goes cold. Once your report is filed with us, the team takes it from there, and your report stays active as it searches.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Kermit means contacting the Police Department, checking with City Hall, visiting the local animal shelter if it's a pet, and scrolling through community posts and marketplaces yourself, day after day. Each agency keeps its own records, and nobody talks to each other. By the time you've made all the calls and joined all the groups, you've already spent hours on the phone and still have no guarantee anyone will find your wallet, ring, or beloved dog.
ReportLost simplifies this. You file once, we send your report to every relevant service in Kermit and keep it actively searching for matches for up to a year. You don't have to re-post on Facebook, check Nextdoor every morning, or call the shelter weekly. Your report is working for you, 24/7, while you move on with your life.
