Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Lexington means contacting multiple places separately: the police department, Community Transit or your local bus service, animal shelters if it's a pet, plus monitoring Facebook groups and local bulletin boards yourself. By the time you've called them all, hours have passed, and you're still checking back daily to see if anyone's posted a found item. ReportLost cuts through that fragmentation in one step.
When you file a report with us, we immediately notify the Kelso Police Department, local transit lost and found teams, and post to the community channels where Lexington residents actively share found items.

It stays active for your entire search period (12 months), automatically matching against new found posts and announcements so you can move forward without the daily grind of checking every site yourself.
