How ReportLost works for Hope residents
You describe what you lost
Fill out a quick form with details about your item, where you lost it in Hope, and when. We capture everything the right people need to know.
We route your report to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Hope Police Department, Hope Animal Shelter (if it's a pet), and gets posted to local Facebook groups and community channels where Hope residents actively report found items.
Your report keeps searching automatically
For 12 months, your active report continues to match against new found items, community posts, and local announcements. You get alerts the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every day yourself.
Where to report a lost item in Hope
The right place depends on where you lost it and what it is. Here's what each channel does and how we help.
Hope Police Department
The police department keeps a log of lost and found items. If you lose something in a public place, at a business, or on the street, the police can help coordinate. We generate the exact information you need to include in your report.
City of Hope
Hope's city government can help if your lost item might be in city-owned spaces, parks, or facilities. The Citizen Portal is also available for reporting concerns about property or public areas.
Hope Municipal Airport (M-18)
If you lost something at or near the Hope Municipal Airport, contact the airport directly. They maintain lost and found records and coordinate with airlines.
Lost Pet? Hope Animal Shelter
If your dog, cat, or other pet went missing in Hope or Hempstead County, the Hope Animal Shelter is the first place to call. They reunite lost pets with owners and work with local rescue groups. For faster help and a specialized report format, file a priority lost pet report.

Report your loss today
The sooner you file, the sooner your report goes into circulation across Hope. Every hour matters in the first few days, and once your report is filed, the search continues automatically for months.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Hope, whether it's a wallet at a local shop, a ring at Fair Park, or a beloved dog or cat, sends you scrambling across multiple places at once: the Hope Police Department, Hope Animal Shelter, Facebook groups, and the various spots where you lost it. Each has its own process, timing, and limits. By the time you've called around and posted everywhere, days slip away, and your item fades from immediate view.
ReportLost simplifies this. You file once, and we handle the routing to local authorities, the animal shelter, and the community channels where Hope residents post found items every day. Better yet, your report doesn't just sit there, it stays active for months, automatically matching new posts and announcements against your description. You can stop worrying about whether you missed a post on Nextdoor or a new comment in a Facebook group, because your report is working for you in the background.
