Where to report a lost item in Bentonville
The channels that matter, and what to expect from each
Bentonville Police Department
The official place to file a police report for lost or stolen items. You can report by phone at the non-emergency line or visit their records division. We route your report directly to the right precinct and generate the details you'll need.
Bentonville Public Transit
If you left something on a local bus, contact transit directly. They maintain their own lost and found. We guide you on the exact info to provide when you reach out.
Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (XNA)
Traveling through XNA and lost an item? The airport maintains a dedicated lost and found desk for terminal losses, and coordinates with each airline for items left on planes. We help you figure out which channel to contact based on where the loss occurred.
Bentonville Animal Services
Your first call if a pet is missing. They maintain a shelter and cross-post found animals to their Facebook page daily. The faster you report, the faster they can reunite you. When you're ready to act, you can file a priority lost pet report that gets immediate attention.

General inquiries about municipal services, lost and found contacts, or claims can be directed to City Hall. We connect you with the right department for your situation.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the sooner we search.
Every hour matters in the first day, but that's only the beginning. Once your report is filed, your search shifts to automatic. Over the next several months, ReportLost keeps your item active in the system, checking against found posts and announcements across Bentonville. You can step back and let us do the legwork.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Bentonville puts you in an awkward spot. You'd need to call the police non-emergency line, check with Animal Services if it's a pet, scroll through Facebook groups, scan Nextdoor posts, and then keep doing that for weeks. Each channel operates separately, and information can get buried. ReportLost cuts through that friction by sending your report to all the right places at once and keeping it searchable for months.
The real difference: your report doesn't sit static. While you're getting on with your life, our matching system continues to cross-reference new found items posted to community channels and local services against your description. The moment a credible match surfaces, you're notified. No daily hunting required. Just one clear, accurate report that works for you.
