How ReportLost Works
You submit a report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Include details like color, brand, or identifying marks. A few minutes is all it takes.
We route it to the right people
We notify the relevant lost and found offices, the police precinct that covers your location, animal control if it's a pet, and share your report across local social networks so neighbors can help.
Your report stays active and searching
For 12 months, your report keeps matching against new found posts, shelter intakes, marketplace listings, and community reports. You don't have to check Facebook or Nextdoor every day, we do that for you and alert you if a match appears.
Where to Report a Lost Item in Shenandoah
These are the official channels. ReportLost combines them all into one streamlined report.
Baton Rouge Police Department
File a police report for lost items, especially valuables like wallets, rings, or purses. The BRPD covers Shenandoah and maintains a property record. We identify the right precinct for your loss location and submit the details for you.
East Baton Rouge Parish Animal Control
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, contact Animal Control immediately. They hold found animals and can check if yours has been brought in. Posting your pet's description and photo helps rescuers recognize them. For a lost pet priority report that reaches shelters and rescue networks directly, file a priority lost pet report.
METRO Baton Rouge
Lost an item on a bus or transit vehicle? METRO's lost and found holds items and we help you provide the right details to their team.
Baton Rouge Airport (BTR)
Lost an item at the airport? The BTR Lost and Found office can locate items left at the terminal or returned by airlines.
Local Community Groups
Neighbors often spot lost items and share them on Facebook. The Baton Rouge Lost and Found Pets group and Shenandoah Area Neighbors groups are active and engaged. We post your report to these channels so the community can help.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the sooner we search.
Every hour counts when something goes missing. Filing a report right away means our system starts matching your description against found items, shelter intakes, and community posts immediately. Once submitted, you've done the hard part, and we take it from there.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Shenandoah feels overwhelming because help is scattered. The police have one system, animal control another, Facebook groups post constantly, and Nextdoor fills up with noise. By the time you've contacted each place separately and reposted your item on multiple platforms, days have passed. ReportLost consolidates all of that into one action, reaching the right people and keeping your report active so you can breathe.
The key difference: after you file a report with us, your item doesn't go quiet. Our system continues to check new found posts, community alerts, and lost-and-found intakes across the Baton Rouge area for months, matching them against your description automatically. You get notified only when there's a credible match. No subscription, no daily checking required, just sustained search power while you move forward.

How does ReportLost keep my report active for so long?
Our system continuously compares your item's description against new found posts on Facebook, Nextdoor, marketplace listings, shelter intakes, and community reports across the Baton Rouge area.
