Where to Report a Lost Item in Rutland
Whether you go the DIY route or use ReportLost to handle it all, here's how Rutland's lost and found ecosystem works.
Rutland City Police Department
The primary local police department handles lost and found reports for items lost in the City of Rutland. Call their non-emergency line to report or ask about recovered items. ReportLost generates the key details and files the report on your behalf so you skip the hold time.
Rutland City Hall
The City Clerk's Office at City Hall may maintain records of items turned in to city offices, parks, and community spaces. You can inquire directly or file a formal report here. We help you identify which department is most likely to have your item.
The Bus (Rutland Public Transportation)
If you lost an item on The Bus, call their Customer Service line in the morning between 7am and 8am, or contact them during business hours. ReportLost can point you to the exact extension and guide you through their lost and found process.
Rutland Southern Vermont Regional Airport
Items lost at the airport, including those left in parking areas or during check-in, may be held by airport operations or TSA. Rutland Airport is served by regional carriers, so contact their operations line or the local airport authority.
Lost Pet? File a Priority Report

Don't Let Your Item Slip Away
The first hours and days matter most. Filing your report quickly with the right departments and local channels increases the chances someone will recognize your item and return it. Once you report with ReportLost, our team contacts all the key places and your report enters active search mode. You can move on with your day knowing the system is working.
Report my lost item →In Rutland, a lost wallet might end up with the Police Department on Wales Street, while a found ring gets posted in a Facebook group, and a phone turns up at a local business with no clear path back to you. Police, social media, local shops, and transit all operate independently. You're left piecing together calls and scrolling endlessly.
ReportLost simplifies this by filing your loss in all the right places at once, then keeping your report active and cross-referenced for months. Once you report, the search continues automatically. We match your item against new found posts and alerts so you don't have to check manually every single day. You can breathe easy knowing your report is working for you.
