Where and how to report a lost item in North Lakes
The main channels—and what ReportLost does for you on each one
North Slope Borough Police
The police department is your first stop for lost items in North Lakes. You can file a report in person or call their non-emergency line. We identify which precinct and contact number applies to your loss location, so you reach the right desk immediately.
Public Transit—KGB
If you left your item on a KGB transit bus in the Matanuska-Susitna area, the transit authority holds lost property for a set period. Call their lost & found line and provide details. We help you word your report so nothing gets missed.
Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport
Traveling through Anchorage and lost something there? The airport's lost & found office holds items at the first level near the parking garage entrance, Monday through Friday. We can draft the details you need to include when you call or visit.
Lost pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in North Lakes, contact the Matanuska-Susitna Borough Animal Shelter immediately and also file a found-pet alert on local Facebook groups and Nextdoor. Your pet's safety is urgent. We help you file a priority lost pet report that reaches the right shelter and community channels fast.
Local businesses & community spaces
Restaurants, shops, libraries, and community centers in North Lakes often hold lost items at their front desk. We generate a checklist of the places to contact and what details to provide, so you don't forget a step.

The sooner you report, the sooner your search can work for you
Getting your description into the system early—whether through ReportLost or directly—helps. Once your report is filed, you can take a breath; the search continues automatically while you focus on other things.
Report my lost item →Losing something in North Lakes—whether it's at the grocery store, on a community bus, at the Palmer airport, or at a local restaurant—is stressful. And the problem is worse because the people who find your item don't always know how to reach you, and you don't always know where to look first. The North Slope Borough Police, the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, local businesses, and Alaska community groups all hold lost items, but they're separate systems. Calling one office, then another, then posting on Facebook and hoping feels scattered and exhausting.
ReportLost simplifies that. File once, and we handle the routing—we know which authorities cover which areas of North Lakes, which shelter to contact if it's a pet, and which local community channels actually get results. Then your report stays active and keeps searching for a match across new found posts and announcements for months, so you can stop checking obsessively and trust that the search is happening behind the scenes.
