How ReportLost works in Montgomery
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to alert the right Montgomery agencies and local channels.
We route it to the right places
Your loss reaches Montgomery Police, the Humane Society (if it's a pet), The-M Transit (if it's on a bus), and active community groups, all at once.
Automated monitoring finds matches
For months, we scan Facebook groups, local posts, marketplaces, and community pages for items matching your description, location, and timeline. We alert you the moment a credible match appears, so you never miss a lead.
Where to report and what ReportLost does for you
Montgomery has several places to report lost items. Here's how each works, and how we streamline the process.
Montgomery Police Department
File a report for lost items not related to animals or transit. The non-emergency line can direct you to the right desk and tell you what info they'll need. We identify your police district, generate the key details, and file the report on your behalf so you don't have to navigate the process alone.
Montgomery Humane Society Lost and Found
If you've lost or found a pet, the Humane Society is the central hub. They're open 7 days a week and maintain a searchable database. We ensure your lost pet is registered with them immediately, and our monitoring catches any posts about found animals in the area. For urgent pet concerns, file a priority lost pet report with us.
The-M Transit Lost and Found
Lost something on a Montgomery bus? The-M holds items for a limited time at their depot. Contact them with the bus route, time, and description of what you left behind. We make sure your item is reported to their lost and found right away.
Montgomery Regional Airport (MGM)
Misplaced your bag, phone, or glasses at MGM? The airport's information desk can direct your inquiry to the airport lost and found office. Call during business hours with a description and your contact info. We make sure airport staff are aware of what you're looking for.
City Hall and Public Spaces
Lost your item at a city building, park, or public venue? Montgomery City Hall can help direct your report to the facility where you think you left it. We know which department handles what, so your report lands in the right hands without you having to make multiple calls.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Every moment counts, but so does knowing you've done everything right.
The sooner you report a loss, the sooner staff at Montgomery agencies can set it aside and look out for it. Once you've filed with ReportLost, take a breath. We're scanning social channels, community groups, and the broader web for you, day and night, for months to come.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Montgomery can feel isolating. The police have their procedures, the Humane Society tracks animals, The-M Transit has its own lost items depot, and local Facebook groups post sporadically. You're left juggling multiple calls, checking different websites daily, and wondering if you've covered everywhere.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One report to us, and we notify all the right local channels at once, then sit back and monitor the web for you. No more daily scrolling through community posts or calling around. While you move forward, our system is actively hunting for your lost item across Montgomery's networks and channels for up to a year.

Frequently asked questions about losing and finding items in Montgomery
How long do Montgomery Police and other agencies hold lost items?
The Montgomery Police Department typically holds unclaimed items for a set period before disposal; check with them directly at (334) 625-2532 for specifics. The Humane Society keeps lost animals for at least 24 hours free of charge, then charges a daily fee. The-M Transit holds bus items at their depot, so check soon with (334) 625-4012. ReportLost keeps your report active and monitoring for up to 12 months, extending your chances of recovery well beyond the holding periods.
If I lose a pet in Montgomery, what's the first step?
Call the Montgomery Humane Society immediately at (334) 409-0622, ext. 209. They're open 10am to 5pm every day and will check their shelter and coordinate with animal control. Post on the 'Lost And Found Pets Montgomery, Alabama' Facebook group right away. ReportLost ensures all these channels are alerted simultaneously and monitors for any posts about found animals in the area.
What if I lose something on The-M bus?
Note the route number, time, and approximate location of your seat. Call The-M customer service at (334) 625-4012 during business hours (Mon–Fri, 8am–4pm). Describe the item in detail. The depot staff will search the bus. Our service reports your loss to The-M and checks their channels for matches to ensure they know to hold your item.
How does ReportLost's automated monitoring work?
After you report, our system scans Facebook groups, Nextdoor posts, local marketplace listings, and other public web sources every day for descriptions, locations, and dates that match yours. We're looking for posts tagged 'found' or 'lost' that align with your report. The moment a credible match surfaces, you get an alert. This way, you don't have to check Facebook groups or community pages manually every morning.
What information should I include in my report?
Include the item's description (color, brand, distinctive marks), the exact location where you lost it, the date and approximate time, and your contact information. Any serial numbers, photos, or proof of ownership help. ReportLost will guide you through capturing the right details and format them for each agency you're reporting to, so nothing gets lost in translation.
Is ReportLost.org an official Montgomery agency?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that coordinates your report with official Montgomery agencies (police, Humane Society, transit, airport, city departments) on your behalf. We don't replace them; we work alongside them and monitor public channels to improve your chances of recovery. All the agencies and resources we cite are real, official, and do their own work with lost items. We just make it easier for you to reach them all at once and keep searching when you can't.
