How ReportLost Works
You describe what you lost
Tell us about your item, where you last had it, and when. We gather the details needed to file with the right Richardson authorities and post across local channels.
We route your report to the right places
We send your information to Richardson Police Property and Evidence, the City of Richardson, DART Lost & Found (if you lost it on transit), and the Richardson Animal Shelter (if it's a pet). We handle the routing so you don't have to contact each place separately.
Our system monitors for matches automatically
We scan Facebook groups, Reddit, marketplace posts, and local social channels for 'found' reports that match your description. You get alerted the moment a credible match appears, so you can follow up right away. No daily checking required.

The sooner you report, the sooner our system starts monitoring. ReportLost handles the routing and the watching, leaving you free to focus on what matters.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Richardson means contacting multiple places: the police, the transit authority if it was on DART, the city if it was at a public facility, or the animal shelter if it's a pet. Each has different hours and procedures, and there's no guarantee you'll know if someone has found and reported it.
ReportLost brings all of that together. One report reaches everyone who might have your item, and our automated monitoring keeps watch across the entire local web so you can move on with your day knowing help is looking for you.
