How It Works
You describe what you lost
Tell us what went missing, where, and when. Upload a photo if you have one. We gather every detail that matters for the search.
We route your report to the right places
Your report lands with the Rib Mountain Law Enforcement Department, the Marathon County Sheriff's Office, local lost pet services if needed, and community groups where Rib Mountain residents gather. No phone tag, no guessing which office handles your area.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For 12 months, your report stays active and searchable. We automatically cross-check new found posts, community alerts, and local announcements against your description, so the match finds you without you checking every day.
Where to report and what to expect
Rib Mountain has several places that hold lost items. Here's where they go and how to reach them directly if you want to follow up yourself, or let us do the legwork.
Rib Mountain Law Enforcement Department
The village police handle lost items reported within Rib Mountain and can advise you on next steps based on where and what was lost. Items are held for a period before being disposed. We tell you exactly which jurisdiction covers your loss location and generate the report details they need.
Rib Mountain Municipal Center
The village office can direct you to the right department depending on what and where you lost something. They keep records of inquiries and can sometimes hold items temporarily. We handle the initial contact so you know exactly where to go next.
Central Wisconsin Airport Lost & Found
If your loss happened at or near Central Wisconsin Airport, items are collected and held at the airport administration office. Call the airport directly during business hours to report or check. We point you to the right contact and include airport-specific details in your report.
Lost Pets
A missing cat, dog, or other pet needs immediate, focused action. Wausau-area shelters, Marathon County pet networks, and local Facebook groups move fast when a pet is reported. Every hour counts, and our network reaches them instantly. File a priority lost pet report to accelerate the search across all local animal services.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the sooner we search
Every minute matters when something goes missing. The first few hours are when items are still being found and when social networks are most active. File your report now, and your search begins immediately across every Rib Mountain channel.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Rib Mountain means navigating separate systems: the village police, the Marathon County Sheriff's Office, local animal shelters if it's a pet, Facebook groups, and everywhere in between. Each has its own hours, contact method, and process. By the time you've called them all and posted across social media, time has slipped away, and the moment of highest recovery likelihood has passed.
ReportLost brings all those channels together with one submission. We translate your loss into the exact information each service needs, deliver it to the right desk, and keep your report actively matching against new found items and community posts for months, so you can stop searching and let the system work for you.
