Where to Report a Lost Item in Hastings
Local channels and who handles what
Hastings Police Department
The Police Department maintains a Lost & Found Board in the reception area and accepts lost property reports. Our team will tell you which precinct covers your loss location and what details to file. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
Barry County Sheriff's Office
If your loss occurred in unincorporated Barry County, or if you need additional support beyond the city police, the Sheriff's Office handles lost property and can assist with recovery. We generate the exact details to include in a report to ensure the right department investigates.
Hastings City/Barry County Airport
Items left at the airport—whether in the terminal, parking area, or on a flight—should be reported to the airport directly. We point you to the right desk and provide the exact description format they'll need.
Lost or Found Pet
Pets lost in Barry County should be reported immediately to the Barry County Animal Shelter and the Barry County Humane Society. Both organizations maintain active networks and post found animals online. If your pet is missing, time matters, and community channels amplify the search fast. File a priority lost pet report and we'll get word to shelters and rescue groups right away.

We recommend calling 269-945-5744 to confirm your item's status and arrange a time to collect it. Items not claimed within a certain period may be disposed of, so prompt reporting is important.

Call the Barry County Animal Shelter at 269-948-4885 immediately, and post in the Barry County Michigan Lost and Found Pets Facebook group. ReportLost will ensure this information reaches shelters and rescue networks fast.
