How it works
You describe what you lost
Tell us what went missing, where, and when. We capture the details needed to alert the right local offices and community groups.
We connect it to the right channels
Your report is routed to Bella Vista Police Department, the Animal Shelter if it's a pet, and shared across local social networks. We handle the legwork so you don't have to contact each place separately.
Your report keeps searching for a match
for your entire search period, your report continues to cross-reference new found items and community posts. The moment a credible match appears, we alert you. You can rest easy while we search.
Where lost items go in Bella Vista
Here's what happens when something goes missing, and where to reach out if you're reporting yourself.
Bella Vista Police Department
The Police Department takes lost and found reports and can help if an item is lost or found around town. They maintain a lost and found database and can direct you based on your loss location. When you report through ReportLost, we submit your information to the right desk so you don't have to navigate the system yourself.
City Hall
Bella Vista City Hall can field general inquiries about lost and found services and direct you to the appropriate department. They're a resource if you need to clarify where your specific loss should be reported.
Northwest Arkansas National Airport
If your loss occurred at or around the airport, Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (XNA) maintains its own lost and found. Items are held and can be searched through their customer service team.
Lost or found a pet?
Bella Vista Animal Shelter receives lost and found pet reports and posts active alerts across local pet groups. They also scan for microchips and hold found animals while searching for their owners. If your missing pet is a dog or cat, file a priority lost pet report so we can alert the Shelter and pet networks immediately.

Acting quickly improves your chances
The sooner your loss is reported and circulated to local channels, the better your odds of recovery. Once your report is filed with ReportLost, the pressure shifts: the system works for you, checking new posts and announcements across multiple channels so you can focus on other things.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Bella Vista can feel scattered. The Police Department has one process, the Animal Shelter another, and community posts pop up across Facebook and Nextdoor without any central way to track them all. Meanwhile, days pass and the odds of recovery drop.
ReportLost simplifies this. File once, and we immediately notify the authorities, local groups, and community networks that matter. Even better, your report doesn't stop searching after day one. It stays active, automatically matching against newly posted found items and local announcements throughout its full term, so you're not refreshing web pages and group feeds yourself every morning.
