Where to report a lost item in Muscatine
If you prefer to reach out directly, here are the main channels
Muscatine Police Department
The first stop for reporting a lost item. Officers log reports and maintain a lost and found. We identify which precinct serves your loss location and route your report there automatically, but you can also contact them directly.
Muscatine City Hall
City offices can sometimes help direct lost items or point you to relevant departments. They're a good second contact if you're unsure where else to look.
MuscaBus Transit
Lost something on a local bus? Items are collected by MuscaBus dispatch. We generate the exact info you'll need to include when you call them.
Muscatine Municipal Airport
If you lost an item at the airport, contact the airport administration office during business hours. They manage lost and found for the terminal.
Lost or found a pet?
If it's a dog or cat, contact the Muscatine Police Department's Animal Control Division or the Muscatine Humane Society. They're your first contacts for a missing pet, and we can help you reach them faster. You can also file a priority lost pet report here, which gets routed directly to animal services.

Do I need to file a police report to claim something I've lost?

Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?

We partner with local police, city offices, and community networks to amplify your report and keep it actively searching. For theft or other crimes, you should also file a report with the Muscatine Police Department directly.
