Ready to report your loss?
The sooner your item is in the system, the sooner local agencies and community members can help. Filing now means your report will be active and searching while you handle everything else.
Report my lost item →Losing something in or near Knik-Fairview can be frustrating. Between the Anchorage Police Department's lost and found, the Matanuska-Susitna Borough offices, local shops, transit facilities, and scattered community posts, there's no single place where everything gets reported. Most people end up calling a dozen places, posting on multiple Facebook groups, checking Nextdoor every day, and hoping someone turns their lost item in.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. File one report with us, and we route it to all the right local agencies, businesses, and community channels. Then your report stays active for up to a year, automatically cross-checking new found items against your description so you don't have to spend weeks hunting through posts yourself. Once you've filed, you can focus on other things while the search continues in the background.

Frequently asked questions
How long do police and businesses hold lost items in Knik-Fairview?
The Anchorage Police Department typically holds lost items for 90 days unless claimed. Local businesses may hold items for shorter periods, often 24 to 48 hours. That's why filing immediately with ReportLost matters—the sooner your report is active, the more places we can alert before items are disposed of or donations are made.
Do I need to file a police report if I lost something?
Not always. A police report is helpful for high-value items like electronics or jewelry, but for personal items like a wallet or phone, contacting the Anchorage Police Department's non-emergency line (3-1-1) to file a lost item report is usually sufficient. ReportLost will help guide you on what step is right for your situation.
How do I check the Ted Stevens Airport lost and found?
Call 907-266-2190 during business hours (Monday to Friday, 8am to 12pm and 1pm to 4:30pm) or contact the airline directly if the item was lost on a flight. Alaska Airlines can be reached at 907-266-7952. We'll include airport contact info in your report if relevant.
What if I lost a pet in Knik-Fairview?
Contact Anchorage Animal Care & Control immediately at 907-343-8122. Register your pet with 24PetConnect to make sure they appear in lost-pet searches. Post in the 'Anchorages Lost & Found Pets' and 'Mat-Su Lost and Found Pets' Facebook groups. Filing a priority lost pet report with ReportLost ensures all local animal shelters and community networks are alerted quickly.
Can ReportLost replace calling the police or visiting lost and found offices?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that helps you file faster and route your report to the right channels, but we don't replace the police, animal control, or official lost and found offices. We work alongside them. For emergencies or high-value items, always contact the police directly at 911 or non-emergency at 3-1-1.
How does ReportLost keep my report active for 12 months?
Once you file, your report stays in our system and is continuously cross-checked against new found items posted by community members, local businesses, shelters, and online marketplaces. If a credible match appears, you'll get an immediate alert. You don't have to check Facebook groups or call offices every day; your report does the searching for you.
