How it works
You file your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather all the details needed to reach the right people in Caledonia.
We route it to the right channels
Your report goes directly to the Village of Caledonia Police Department, local lost and found offices, and community groups that help reunite people with their belongings.

For 12 months, your report remains active and cross-checks incoming found posts, marketplace listings, and community announcements. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check back yourself.
Where to report in Caledonia
These channels handle lost items in the village. ReportLost coordinates them for you.
Village of Caledonia Police Department
File a report if you've lost an item in a public space, at a business, or during an incident in Caledonia. We identify the right precinct and prepare the exact information needed for your report.

The sooner you file, the better your chances
Once your report is in the system, you can take a breath. The search shifts to your report, which keeps checking for matches continuously. Getting started now means your item has months of active searching ahead.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Caledonia can feel frustrating when you're not sure where to start. Items left behind at shops on Chester Lane, lost during visits to local parks, or misplaced in the community come through different channels, and calling each one separately takes time you may not have.
ReportLost simplifies this. File once, and your report reaches the Village police, local lost and found services, and community networks all at once. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching after you file it. It stays active, automatically matching new found reports and announcements to your description for months, so you can move forward while the search continues.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Village of Caledonia hold lost items?
Holding periods vary by location. Police typically hold items for 90 days or more, while businesses may keep items for shorter periods. Contacting the Police Department at (262) 835-4423 quickly increases your chances of recovery.
Where do I pick up a found item after I locate it?
If your item is found and logged with the Police Department, you'll collect it from the Village Police non-emergency line (262) 886-2300. Private businesses will direct you when you call. Always ask about office hours and any identification requirements.
Can I file a report if I lost something at a local store or restaurant?
Yes. Start by calling the business directly, then file with ReportLost. We'll route your report to the Police Department and alert community networks, keeping your item visible even if it moves between locations.
What happens if my item isn't found in the first few days?
This is why your report stays active for 12 months. Items resurface days, weeks, or months later. Your report continues checking automatically, and we'll notify you if a credible match appears.
How does ReportLost help me beyond what I can do myself?
ReportLost reaches multiple channels at once (police, community groups, lost and found networks) with a single report. More importantly, your report keeps searching for you passively. You don't revisit Facebook, community boards, or shelters daily. We do that, and alert you only when there's a real lead.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not instead of them. We file reports with the Village of Caledonia Police and other relevant local services, coordinate with community networks, and maintain an active search on your behalf. You retain full control of your report and recovery process.
