How it works
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item (wallet, ring, phone, keys, pet) and where you were when you last had it. We gather the details that matter most for your search.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes straight to the Sturgis Police Department, City Hall, local transit, Kirsch Municipal Airport if relevant, pet networks, and the community groups where Sturgis residents are actively posting found items.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your report stays active and matches against new found posts, marketplace listings, and local alerts. You'll get an alert if a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to check social media and community boards yourself every day.
Where items end up in Sturgis
The official places to check, and how ReportLost connects you to all of them at once
Sturgis Department of Public Safety
The Police Department is the main hub for lost and found reports in the city. Items are held and can be claimed during office hours. We generate the exact details to include so your report reaches the right desk.
City Hall
Sturgis City Hall may hold items found in municipal buildings or on city property. Staff can direct you to the right department if your loss happened at a city office or public event. We tell you which office covers your location.
Sturgis Circle Line Transit
Lost something on the bus? The Circle Line garage holds items turned in by drivers and passengers. Check there first if you were on a recent trip. We point you to the right contact and hours.
Kirsch Municipal Airport
If you lost your wallet or phone at Kirsch Airport, the lost and found desk keeps items on file. Open weekdays 9 am to 5 pm. ReportLost ensures the airport receives your full description.
Lost and Found Pets
If you've lost a cat or dog, the Sturgis Police Department Animal Control Unit and local pet networks are your fastest leads. Report urgently and also file a priority lost pet report to activate our pet-specific search channels.

Ready to get your report out there?
The sooner you file, the faster we can start matching your item against found posts and alerts. Once your report is in, your search is underway.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Sturgis means having to contact multiple places: the Police Department, City Hall, the bus garage if you were on Circle Line, the airport, animal control if it's a pet, plus Facebook groups and community posts. Each office keeps items for a limited time, and coordinating across all of them takes energy you'd rather not spend.
ReportLost does the routing for you. One report, filed once, reaches every relevant local channel and stays active month after month. While you move on, your report continues to scan new found items and alerts as they come in, matching them against your description. No more refreshing the same Facebook group every morning hoping someone spotted your ring or wallet.

Questions about lost and found in Sturgis
How long do the Sturgis Police Department and city offices hold lost items?
The Police Department typically holds items for a reasonable period, but specific retention times vary by item type. We recommend calling 269-651-3231 to ask about your specific loss. With ReportLost, we make sure your report is active the entire time, so matches don't slip past you.
What if I lost something on the Sturgis Circle Line bus?
Call the Circle Line garage at 269-273-8085. You can visit anytime between 8 am and 4 pm, Monday through Friday. Have a description ready. ReportLost also alerts the transit lost and found so staff know to watch for your item.
How do I report a lost pet in Sturgis?
Contact the Sturgis Police Department Animal Control at 269-651-3231 right away. Also post in the Facebook group 'Lost and Found Pets Sturgis/Howe/Lagrange' and call the local pet network at 269-641-5808. For faster, coordinated outreach, <a href="/report-lost-pet">file a priority lost pet report</a> with ReportLost.
What should I include in my lost item report?
Describe color, size, distinctive marks, brand (if any), where you last had it, and when. For pets, include breed, color, collar details, and the area where they disappeared. The more specific you are, the faster we can match it to found posts.
How does ReportLost help if I've already posted on Facebook?
Facebook posts fade from the timeline quickly, and many people don't see them. With ReportLost, your report stays visible and active for 12 months, matching against new found items every day. We also make sure official offices like the Police Department and City Hall are aware, not just community groups.
Is ReportLost.org an official Sturgis city service or police department tool?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We route your report to the Sturgis Police Department, City Hall, and local lost pet networks, but we are not run by them. We're a dedicated lost and found service designed to do the legwork of contacting multiple agencies and keeping your search active longer than you could alone.
