Where to Report & Claim Lost Items in Rexburg
Learn about the main channels and offices in town. ReportLost handles the legwork of routing your report to all of them.
Rexburg Police Department
The Police Department handles reports of lost items and can help you file an official report. If you lost something valuable or suspect theft, they're your starting point. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and what details to include.
City Hall & Lost & Found
City Hall maintains records of items turned in to the city and can help you check if something has been brought to their office. Many items found in public spaces end up here. We generate the information you need to describe your item and know the right questions to ask.
Local Businesses & Public Spaces
If you lost something at a restaurant, shop, library, or park in Rexburg, the business or facility often holds found items at the front desk or office. Check with the specific location where you last had your item. We help you figure out which place is most likely to have it.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Rexburg, the Animal Shelter is the first place to call. They help reunite lost animals with their families and maintain records of animals brought in. For urgent lost pet situations, you can also post in active community pet groups. To file a priority lost pet report and tap into our pet-specific network, file a priority lost pet report.

Ready to File Your Report?
The sooner you report a lost item, the better your chances of recovery. Your report gets out to the right people in Rexburg right away, and then continues working for you in the background.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Rexburg can feel frustrating when you're not sure where to start. The Rexburg Police Department, City Hall, local businesses, the Animal Shelter, and community groups all handle found items separately, which means your lost item could turn up anywhere, and you'd need to contact each place individually to find out.

We immediately notify the relevant local authorities and channels in Rexburg, and then your report stays active, automatically checking new community posts and alerts for matches. Once you've reported it, you can focus on your day while we keep the search going.

Questions About Lost Items in Rexburg
How long does the Police Department keep lost items?
Contact the Rexburg Police Department at (208) 359-3008 to ask about their retention policy for found items. Most departments hold items for 30 to 90 days before they may be disposed of or donated, so it's important to report losses quickly.
Where do I pick up a lost item after it's been found?
Depending on where your item was found, you may need to pick it up from the Rexburg Police Department, City Hall, the location's business office, or the Animal Shelter (if it's a pet). We'll let you know where to go once a match is confirmed.
What if I lost something at a business in Rexburg?
Call the business directly first, but also file a report with us so we can coordinate with local authorities and community channels. We help ensure your lost item description reaches all the places it might turn up.
Should I file a police report for a lost item?
For valuable items or suspected theft, yes, contact Rexburg Police at (208) 359-3008. For everyday lost items, posting in community groups and checking with local businesses is often enough. ReportLost routes your report to the right channel based on what you lost.

ReportLost is an independent service designed to streamline the reporting process and keep your lost item visible across multiple local channels. We don't replace the Police Department, we work alongside official channels to ensure your report reaches the right places and stays active longer than you could manage alone.
