Where to report a lost item in Aurora
Official channels and what happens next
Aurora Police Department
The Aurora-Marionville Police Departments handles lost and found reports for items lost around town. Call during business hours or stop by city hall to file a report in person. We tell you exactly which department covers your loss location and what information to include.
Aurora City Hall
City Hall is the central hub for lost and found inquiries and can direct you to the right department. Staff can help you file a report or point you toward the most relevant local authority based on where and what you lost.
Lost pets in Aurora
If you've lost a dog or cat, the Aurora Animal Shelter holds strays for a stray hold period and should be contacted right away. Community groups on Facebook are also vital for getting the word out fast. Rather than juggling calls and posts yourself, file a priority lost pet report and we'll alert the shelter and local pet groups for you while your report stays active.
Aurora Municipal Airport
If you lost something at the small municipal airport, call the airport directly to check their lost and found. For items lost at the larger Springfield-Branson National Airport to the south, their lost and found office keeps items for a limited time before they're discarded.
