⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the sooner we get started.
Once your item is in our system, you can breathe a little easier. The police will have the details, your description circulates to Facebook groups and community pages, and your report automatically searches for new matches. Every day counts, but you don't have to spend every day searching yourself.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, phone, or keys in Mount Horeb means reaching out to the police, checking Facebook groups, calling local shops, and hoping someone posts a found item online. These channels don't always talk to each other, and once a few days pass, your item can disappear into someone's drawer or get discarded. The longer you wait, the harder it gets.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report goes to all the right places at once, and your item description keeps circulating automatically. Rather than refreshing the Mount Horeb Lost & Found Facebook group every morning, your report does the heavy lifting for you, matching against new found posts and local activity for months to come.
