If you lost something on a Badger Bus or local transit service, they hold items for a limited time. We alert them with your item description and contact info, and we also check if your lost item matches any new found reports they receive.

Ready to file your report?
The sooner you get your loss on the radar, the sooner it can start matching against found items across Badger. Your report will stay active and searching while you handle other things.
Report my lost item →In Badger, losing your wallet, phone, ring, or pet can feel overwhelming. The Fairbanks North Star Borough Police, transit services, local businesses, and community groups all have separate lost and found systems, and there's no single place to file a report that reaches them all. By the time you figure out who to contact and what to say, precious hours have passed.
ReportLost removes that friction. You file one report with us, and we route it to the police, transit, local channels, and Facebook groups where your item is most likely to turn up. Better yet, your report doesn't disappear after a week. It stays active for 12 months, continuing to cross-reference new found posts and announcements so you can focus on your day instead of refreshing feeds.

Questions about lost items in Badger
How long does the Fairbanks North Star Borough Police hold lost items?
Police departments typically hold lost and found items for 30 to 90 days before donating or disposing of them. Reporting quickly gives you the best window to retrieve your item. ReportLost keeps your report active beyond that window so you can still be matched with your item if it's found later.
What if I lost something on a Badger Bus?
Call Badger Bus directly at their lost and found line or fill out their online form. Check within 24 hours if possible, as transit services move items to storage quickly. When you report to ReportLost, we notify them of your loss and also alert you if a matching item is found on any local service.
Can I file a lost pet report over the phone with Fairbanks Animal Control?
Yes, you can call Fairbanks Animal Control at (907) 459-1451 to report a missing pet. You can also file online through their lost pet system. ReportLost amplifies your report by posting to Facebook groups like 'Fairbanks and North Pole Lost Pets' and ensuring Animal Control has your full contact info.
If I lost something at Fairbanks International Airport, where do I check?
Call the FAI Lost & Found office at (907) 687-0001 or email fai.lost-found@alaska.gov. They're open Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. If you report with ReportLost, we make sure your description reaches them and provide you with the exact information they need.
What counts as a credible match when your report is searching?
We look for found posts, marketplace listings, and community announcements that match your item's description, location, and timing. If we spot something that looks like your item, we send you an alert with a link so you can follow up. You're in control of confirming whether it's actually yours.
Is ReportLost an official government agency?
No, ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We're not the police, animal control, or transit authority, but we coordinate with all of them on your behalf. Filing with ReportLost does not replace calling the police or animal control directly, but it ensures your report reaches multiple channels at once and stays active much longer than a typical lost and found notice.
