For 12 months, your report remains active and we monitor for matches across local lost and found posts, community networks, and alerts, so you don't have to check every day.

Don't Let Your Report Sit in One Place
The sooner you report, the sooner all the right channels know to look. One form, one push, and your item is in motion across Delafield and Waukesha County.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Delafield can feel scattered. Your wallet might end up at the Delafield Police Department, a ring at a local shop, a pet post on a Waukesha County Facebook group, or a phone at City Hall. Each channel has its own system, its own timeline, and its own way of handling claims. Without a single point of coordination, items slip through the cracks.
ReportLost simplifies that. File once, and we make sure your loss reaches the Delafield Police, the right municipal desk, Journey Home Animal Control if it's a pet, and active community channels across Waukesha County. Then your report stays active, continuously cross-checking new found posts and alerts against your description, so you can focus on other things while the search works for you.
