How ReportLost Works
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where it went missing, and when. We gather the details that matter.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches the Westland Police Department, any relevant transit or business lost & found, and local social channels. You don't track down each office yourself.
We search for matches automatically
Our system scans Facebook, local groups, online marketplaces, and community posts for months. When a credible match appears, we alert you right away. No daily checking required.
Where to report your lost item
Westland has several channels for lost & found. ReportLost connects you to all of them.
Westland Police Department
File a report if your item was lost in a public place or you suspect theft. The department maintains lost and found records and can help with follow-ups. We determine which precinct handles your location and ensure your report is filed with the right details.
Public Transit Lost & Found
If you lost something on SMART or TheRide, each service maintains its own lost and found. SMART holds items for 7 business days during their 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekday hours. TheRide can be reached by phone. We help you contact the right service and provide the specifics they'll need.
City of Westland
Lost something at a municipal facility or public location? Westland City Hall can direct you to the right department or office. We provide the correct contact information and department so your inquiry reaches the right desk.
Detroit Metropolitan Airport
If your loss occurred at DTW, the Wayne County Airport Authority maintains a dedicated lost and found. TSA also holds items left at security checkpoints. Items are typically available for pickup during business hours. We can point you to the right office depending on where you lost your item.
Lost Pet
Missing a cat, dog, or other pet in Westland? Time matters with animals. Contact Michigan Humane or check local shelter records immediately. They maintain databases and can help circulate your pet's information to rescues in the area. For urgent pet recovery, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost.

Getting ahead makes a difference
The sooner you report a loss, the sooner our system can begin searching on your behalf. Once your item is in the system, the heavy lifting is ours. You'll have peace of mind knowing we're monitoring local channels, transit records, and the web continuously.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Westland can feel overwhelming. Whether it's a wallet dropped at a shop, a phone left on the bus, or belongings misplaced at a local venue, you'd normally have to call the police, contact SMART or TheRide separately, check multiple Facebook groups, and refresh search results every day hoping someone found it. That's a lot of friction.
ReportLost streamlines the entire process. One submission gets your item in front of the Westland Police Department, transit services, and the community. Then we take over the search, monitoring the web continuously so you can move on. Our automated tracking catches posts across local networks and marketplaces for up to a year, alerting you the moment a real match surfaces.
