Where to Report a Lost Item in Speedway
Each office handles lost items, but reporting to all of them takes time and knowledge of their different systems. Here's where to go if you're doing it yourself, and what ReportLost does for you.
Speedway Police Department
The Police Department takes reports of lost and found items and maintains records in case someone turns in your belongings. We generate the details they need and ensure your report reaches the right desk.
Animal Control (Lost Pets)
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, Speedway Animal Control holds stray animals brought into town and works to reunite them with owners. Lost pets are kept here with proof of ownership. We make sure your lost pet report reaches them immediately and connects you to the right process for reclaiming your animal.
Speedway Local Businesses & Venues
Retail stores, restaurants, and gathering spots in Speedway often hold lost and found items for 30 to 90 days. We help you identify which businesses are most likely to have your item and provide the contact details you need.

The sooner you file, the sooner your search begins.
Once you report a loss, the clock starts on community alerts and local matching. The first few days matter most, but your report keeps working for you month after month. Let's get your item's description out there.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, phone, or beloved pet in Speedway means reaching out to multiple offices, each with its own process, hours, and forms. The police take a report, animal control runs their own system, retailers have their own lost and found drawers, and community members post finds on Facebook. Reassembling all those pieces takes time and persistence.
ReportLost simplifies that. File one report, and we notify the Speedway Police Department, Animal Control, local lost and found offices, and community channels on your behalf. Then your report stays active, automatically searching local posts and listings for matches for months, while you get on with your day. No daily checking required, no missing a post because you weren't looking at the right group.
