An easier way to report lost property

National online lost property reporting system

Report My Loss is an online service used by of thousands of people each month to securely and conveniently submit details of lost property.

Launched in the United States in 2016, the system works in conjunction with other solutions within Recipero's Crime Reduction Ecosystem.

The geographical size of the US means that the reporting of lost property is historically extremely fragmented, as a national system used by the public, transport hubs and colleges/universities Report My Loss seeks to address that issue and improve property repatriation.

Loss reporting ecosystem

When a member of the public creates a new loss report it is placed on a secure database that is part of the Recipero Crime Reduction Ecosystem.

The lost item information including serial numbers IMEIs and other identifiable markings, along with the circumstances and location of the loss can all be searched by police and lost property offices in real-time. This expotentially increases the chances of lost items being identified and returned whilst opening new lines of enquiry and intelligence, and in-turn decreases the chances of associated criminality.
