How ReportLost Works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We generate a clear description and alert that covers all the bases, so you don't have to repeat yourself to a dozen different places.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Edgerton Police Department, City Hall, relevant local lost pet networks if applicable, and gets posted across active community channels in Rock County and Dane County.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For your entire search period, your report stays active and continues to check new found posts, community messages, and local networks. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you can stop checking yourself every day.
Where Items Turn Up in Edgerton
Know where to report and who's already looking
Edgerton Police Department
The police maintain a lost and found for items recovered in the city. You can report a loss directly to their desk or call the non-emergency line. ReportLost files the report on your behalf and makes sure it reaches the right officer, so you don't have to worry about whether your information got to the right desk.
Edgerton City Hall
City Hall coordinates lost and found inquiries and can point you to the right department or office. Many items turn up in municipal buildings and public spaces. When you report through ReportLost, we ensure City Hall is notified and can flag your item if it arrives.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin, Dane County Humane Society, and local animal control are your first stops. Rock County and Dane County have active lost pet networks on Facebook and PawBoost that reunite animals with their owners daily. ReportLost connects you to all of them at once and keeps your pet's description active in every channel that matters. File a priority lost pet report to get immediate reach.

Local Transportation
Edgerton local transit and connections to Madison Metro Transit serve the area. Items left on buses are held in their respective lost and found offices. ReportLost tells you the exact contact for your route and the right steps to report your loss, so you don't have to hunt down the right bus line.

The Sooner You Report, the Better Your Odds

Report my lost item →Losing something in Edgerton means contacting the police, checking community boards, calling local shelters if it's a pet, and then checking again tomorrow and the next day.
