A compound of 遺失(いしつ) (loss of property) and (とどけ) (notification/report). This is the formal term for the report filed with Japanese police when you lose something. Japan has a remarkably high rate of lost items being returned, so filing a 遺失届(いしつとどけ) is a practical step that often leads to recovery.

The full formal name is 遺失届出書(いしつとどけでしょ), but 遺失届(いしつとどけ) is the common shortened form.
