Grammar
'Did you get reported of any lost wallet?' correct?
Here is the summary of the situation. I lost my wallet and went to lost&found to check out for a possibility. Then I suddenly got messed up in my brain cuz of this trivial grammar thing. these are the ways I was gonna tell him
1) Have you ever gotten reported of any lost wallets since yesterday?
2) Did anybody report to you any lost wallets?
2) Did you get reported of any lost wallets
In the cases of both 1) and 3), could it be possible to assume lost&found as the one receiving the performace, not a performer?
Teachers please give me the most colloquial way of saying it! Thank you!

First of all I would explain why I am asking
"I have lost my wallet, has anyone handed on in?"
"I have lost my wallet, has anyone reported finding one?"
"I have lost my wallet, has anyone handed on in?"
"I have lost my wallet, has anyone reported finding one?"

Hi,
You lost it. For you, it's a lost wallet.
I found it. For me, it's a found wallet.
So, say something like
I lost my wallet this morning.
Has anyone found one? Or Has anyone handed one in?
ie Someone might find it and keep it. But after they find it, they should hand it in to the Lost and Found.
Best wishes, C

First of all, I really wanna thank you and other teachers for correcting me. It reallys helps me to get outta the anxiety I feel abou the fact that I am never gonna speak colloquial English.
are the sentences I mentioned grammatically wrong and awkward? I am sorry to annoy you but I really want to know why they are wrong, especially the expression 'get reported of.' Thank you so much

Hi,
1) Have you ever gotten reported of any lost wallets since yesterday? Incorrect.
You are trying, unsuccessfully, to use a passive structure.
You'd need to say something like
Have any lost wallets gotten reported (by anyone) since yesterday?
Consider the simpler, non-question form.
A lost wallet got reported by Tom.
2) Did anybody report to y
