How ReportLost Works
File your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to alert the right people and places.
We route it for you
Your report goes directly to the Webster City Police Department, Hamilton County animal services (if applicable), and community lost-and-found networks that matter in Webster City.
Your search continues automatically
For your entire search period, your report keeps searching for a match. Whenever new found-item posts surface, they're checked against your description. You get notified if a credible match appears, so you're not refreshing Facebook groups every day.
Where to Report a Lost Item in Webster City
We'll route your report to all of these, but here's what each channel handles.
Webster City Police Department
The Police Department takes reports of lost items and maintains records. You can call their non-emergency line, visit in person during business hours, or email. We'll point you to the right contact and include all the details you've provided. They're located at 400 Second Street.
Webster City Hall & City Services
City Hall handles lost items found in municipal spaces and can direct you to the appropriate department. They can also help connect you with local lost-and-found initiatives. We'll make sure your report reaches the right desk so you don't have to navigate the system alone.
Webster City Municipal Airport
If you lost something at or around the airport, the airport's lost and found is your first stop. They hold items and can help you retrieve them during business hours. We'll include your airport contact information in your report.
Lost Pet? Hamilton County Animal Services
If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing, time matters. The Cat Hut (Hamilton County Animal Advocates) and local animal control are essential contacts. Report immediately and also file a priority lost pet report with us so your pet stays visible across all community networks for the full duration of your search.

You file once, we handle the routing to every relevant local authority and community network, and most importantly, your report stays active and keeps searching for a match for months while you move forward. No daily checking required, no fear of missing the one post that could reunite you with what you've lost.

What if my item is found after I file?
