How ReportLost Works
You tell us what you lost
Describe the item, where you left it, and when. We gather the details that matter most to the right authorities and community searchers.
We route it to the places that can help
Your report goes directly to the Mountain Brook Police Department (non-emergency line), Animal Control if it's a pet, City Hall, and relevant local Facebook groups and community networks that actively share lost and found posts.
Your report keeps searching automatically
While you get on with your life, your report stays active and continuously cross-references new found item announcements, lost and found posts, and community updates. We alert you immediately if a credible match appears, so you can follow up and report your loss.
Where Lost Items End Up in Mountain Brook
Report through ReportLost and we make sure the right people know
Mountain Brook Police Department
The police non-emergency line is the first place most people call when they lose something in town. Our system alerts them on your behalf, and we provide them with a formatted report so they can log it in their system. You can also reach them directly at (205) 802-2414 during business hours, or use their online Records Unit form if you want to follow up independently.
City Hall and Local Services
Mountain Brook City Hall keeps a central log of lost and found inquiries and can direct you to specific departments or businesses. ReportLost sends your information to City Hall so they can assist with follow-ups. City Hall is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and can also point you to the right office if your loss involves a public facility or event.
Animal Control and Lost Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Mountain Brook, Animal Control is the critical first call. They maintain records of missing and found animals and can check their intake logs. We alert them immediately so they prioritize your case. Contact them at (205) 802-3844, or file a priority lost pet report through our dedicated pet recovery system for faster coordination.
Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM)
If you lost an item at or near the airport during travel, the airport Lost and Found is your main resource. Items are held at the Info Desk in the terminal, and you can call (205) 599-0500 or check their online form to report and retrieve belongings. ReportLost makes sure this channel knows about your loss so it's flagged if your item is turned in.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
The first hours and days matter most. Once you've filed your report through ReportLost, you can relax knowing we've notified the right authorities and community channels, and your case will keep searching for a match automatically.
Report my lost item →Mountain Brook is a tight-knit residential community where lost items can slip away in the noise of everyday life. Whether you've left something at a local business, dropped it along Shades Creek, left it at Mountain Brook High School, or misplaced a pet, getting help typically means making separate calls to the police non-emergency line, reaching out to Animal Control, posting manually to neighborhood Facebook groups, and checking community posts yourself every single day. It's scattered, time-consuming, and easy to miss a lead.
ReportLost simplifies that entirely. One report triggers outreach to all the right channels at once, and your case keeps working for you in the background for months. Instead of you hunting down every new post, your description automatically crosses paths with found items as they're reported, and you're notified as soon as someone finds something that matches. It's the shortcut that gives you peace of mind.
