How ReportLost gets your item back
You submit one report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We generate the precise details needed for each channel: police precinct, animal control, airport terminal, or transit system.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches the Burbank Police Department, relevant city services, Hollywood Burbank Airport Lost & Found (if applicable), BurbankBus and LA Metro, Burbank Animal Shelter, and active local community channels all at once.
We monitor the web for you
Our system scans Facebook groups, Nextdoor, local classified ads, and community forums continuously, searching for posts matching your loss description, location, and date. You get an alert the moment we find a credible match, so you don't have to check back every day.
Where to report in Burbank
Below are the key places that receive and hold lost items. ReportLost handles the notification for you, but here's what each service covers.
Burbank Police Department
The Burbank Police Department keeps a record of found items and missing property reports. Their lost and found office is located in the front lobby at police headquarters. We identify your exact precinct and incident details so your report is logged correctly.
Burbank City Hall
City Hall can direct you to the right municipal department or service for lost items on city property. We make sure your report reaches the appropriate city office based on where you lost your item.
Hollywood Burbank Airport Lost & Found
If you lost an item at Hollywood Burbank Airport, the Lost & Found office in Terminal B processes and holds found items. Office hours are 8 am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday. We provide your description to the airport team right away.
BurbankBus & LA Metro
Lost something on a local bus? BurbankBus and LA Metro operate routes throughout Burbank and both maintain lost and found services. We contact the right transit system based on your route details.
Burbank Animal Shelter
For lost or found pets, the Burbank Animal Shelter is the city's primary intake and recovery center. Open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm. We also alert local pet networks and community groups. If your pet is missing, file a priority lost pet report to reach shelters and rescue groups across the region.

Why speed matters (and why you can relax once you report)
The sooner you file your report, the sooner our system starts scanning community posts and marketplace listings. Burbank residents and found-item posts appear across Facebook groups, Nextdoor, and local forums throughout the day. Once your report is live, you're protected by months of automated monitoring, so you can stop refreshing pages and trust that we'll flag any match. Let us do the legwork.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Burbank, whether at home, work, a local business, the airport, or on a bus, means dealing with separate lost and found offices, police procedures, and scattered community channels all on your own. It's easy to miss a lead because you can't monitor every Facebook group and marketplace at once.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. File one report and we handle the routing, the follow-ups with official channels, and the ongoing web surveillance. Our automated monitoring watches community posts, online sales sites, and local networks 24/7 for months, so your lost item has the best chance of surfacing, and you'll know immediately if someone reports finding it.

Frequently asked questions about lost items in Burbank
How long do the police and city services hold found items in Burbank?
The Burbank Police Department typically holds lost and found items for a set period before disposal; check with non-emergency dispatch at (818) 238-3000 for current holding timelines. Hollywood Burbank Airport holds items for 30 days. ReportLost files your report immediately to minimize gaps.
How do I claim a found item at the Burbank Police Department?
Visit the Lost and Found office in the front lobby at 200 North Third Street during open hours (7 am to 9 pm, 7 days a week) with identification and a description of your item. Call (818) 238-3000 for non-emergency questions about a specific lost item.
What if I lost something on a BurbankBus or LA Metro bus?
Contact LA Metro Customer Service to report the loss and provide a description. Our report reaches both BurbankBus and LA Metro simultaneously so you don't have to contact each separately.
Where do I report a lost item at Hollywood Burbank Airport?
Call the Airport Lost & Found directly at (818) 729-2231 (Monday to Friday, 8 am to 4 pm) or visit the office in Terminal B Arrivals. We notify the airport team right away when you report through ReportLost.
What happens if no one claims my lost item from the police or city services?
After the holding period expires, unclaimed items may be auctioned, donated, or disposed of according to city policy. This is why filing a report as soon as possible matters: the sooner it's in the system, the more time for a finder to report it back. ReportLost's ongoing monitoring also increases the chances someone will post about finding it online.
Is ReportLost.org an official city service or police program?
No, ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We are not affiliated with the Burbank Police Department, City Hall, or any local agency. We're a third-party platform that files reports on your behalf with official services and monitors community networks continuously so you don't have to. Think of us as your personal lost item coordinator.
