How ReportLost works
You tell us what you lost
Describe the item, where you lost it in Lander, and when. A few details go a long way: color, brand, any distinguishing marks.
We route it to the right places
Your report is forwarded to the Lander Police Department, Lander Pet Connection if it's an animal, the transit authority, and shared across local social channels. You don't have to make those calls yourself.
Your report keeps searching
For the entire duration of your search period, our system watches for new found posts, community listings, and shelter announcements. The moment a credible match appears, you get an alert. The legwork continues long after you submit.
Where lost items end up in Lander
Every loss has a destination. Here's where to report, and what ReportLost does for you.
Lander Police Department
The Police Department maintains lost and found records and can file an official report, which is especially important for valuable items or documents. We pull the right details from your submission and point you to the exact desk or process at the Police Department to ensure your report is logged correctly.
City Hall & Fremont County Sheriff
City Hall acts as a central point for local services and can direct you to the right department for your loss. The Fremont County Sheriff's Office also keeps a lost and found for items found in unincorporated areas. We identify which office covers your specific loss location and help you contact them without the runaround.
Wind River Transportation Authority
If you lost something on a WRTA bus, the dispatch center manages the lost and found. Items are held and logged. We route your report directly to WRTA so they're actively searching their inventory for your description.
Hunt Field Airport
Lander's general aviation airport, Hunt Field, handles lost items reported through its office. We can help you identify whether your loss occurred at the airport and connect you with the right contact.
Lost Pet
Lander Pet Connection is the main hub for reuniting lost dogs and cats with their families. They work closely with the community and maintain a lost and found database. We alert you immediately if a match appears there, and help you file a priority report so shelters and rescues know to watch for your pet. file a priority lost pet report

The sooner you report, the sooner you can move forward
The first hours and days after losing something are the most critical. Once your report is submitted, you've done the hard part. Our team takes it from there, reaching out to the right offices and channels in Lander while your report stays live in the system, quietly matching new found listings against your description for months to come.
Report my lost item →Lander is a tight-knit community nestled against the Wind River Range, but losing something valuable, a cherished pet, or critical documents still sends you on a chase across multiple offices, social groups, and channels. The police have their process, the animal shelter has theirs, the bus system has another, and the Facebook groups operate independently. Coordinating across all of them takes time you don't have.
ReportLost simplifies that puzzle. One form, one submission, and we take it from there, reaching out to the Lander Police Department, Lander Pet Connection, Wind River Transportation Authority, and the community groups where locals post found items. Better yet, your report doesn't expire after a day or a week, it stays active and continues to match against new found listings for months, so you can breathe while we keep searching on your behalf.
