How ReportLost Works
You report what you lost
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Include as much detail as you can remember about the item—color, brand, condition, anything that makes it yours.
We route it to the right places
We deliver your report to the Crestwood Police Department, local businesses and public spaces, transit services if needed, and post it across relevant community channels so the right people see it immediately.
Your report keeps searching for a match
While you move on with your day, your report stays active and continues to cross-check against new found items, social posts, and local listings. You'll get an alert the moment we find a credible match, so you don't have to check every group and site yourself.
Where people lose things in Crestwood
And where to report, with our help
Crestwood Police Department
The first place to report a lost item in Crestwood is the Police Department. They maintain a lost & found for items turned in to officers or by the public. You can file a report in person Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; call 314-729-4818 before you visit, as a nominal fee applies. ReportLost gets your report to them right away so you don't have to go in person if you're not ready.
City of Crestwood Administration
If you've lost something at a municipal building, park, or city event, the City Administration office can help you check their lost & found or direct you to the right department. You can reach them at 314-729-4700 or visit in person at 1 Detjen Drive. ReportLost makes sure your item is logged with the right city department.
Metro Transit Lost & Found
Lost something on a Metro bus or the MetroLINK? Metro Transit maintains a centralized lost & found for items left on public transportation. Call Metro Customer Service at 314-231-2345 or fill out their online form with details about where and when you lost the item. ReportLost can point you to the exact form and help you describe what to include.
St. Louis Lambert International Airport
If you lost something at Lambert Airport, the Airport Police Department maintains a lost & found at Terminal 1 near Door 18. Call 314-890-1370 (Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–4 p.m.) or contact the TSA at 314-595-0423 if your item was lost in a security area. ReportLost makes sure your report reaches both offices so nothing falls through the cracks.

If you've lost a dog or cat, time matters. Check the databases of the St. Louis County Animal Shelter (updated hourly) and the Humane Society of Missouri, and file a lost pet report immediately. You can also post to the Greater St Louis Missouri Lost & Found Paws Facebook group, which is very active. For the fastest, most comprehensive response, file a priority lost pet report with us and we'll alert all the right shelters and community channels at once.

The sooner you report, the sooner you get help

You can focus on your day knowing the search is underway.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Crestwood can feel frustrating, especially when the police department, local businesses, transit services, and community groups all keep their found items separate. You end up calling around, posting in multiple places, and checking back constantly, never quite sure you've covered everywhere.
ReportLost simplifies that. Submit one report and we handle the routing to the Crestwood Police Department, city offices, Metro Transit if relevant, and local social channels. Better yet, your report stays active for 12 months, automatically matching against new found items so you don't have to keep searching.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Crestwood Police Department keep lost items?
The Crestwood Police Department holds lost items for a reasonable period before they may be donated or disposed of. If you've lost something, report it as soon as possible and ask for a specific retrieval deadline when you call 314-729-4818. ReportLost ensures your report reaches them immediately so they have your contact information on file.
What should I do if I lost something on Metro Transit?
Call Metro Customer Service at 314-231-2345 right away and describe the item, the bus or route number, and the approximate time. You can also file a lost & found form online at metrotransit.org. Metro holds items for 30 to 60 days depending on the item. ReportLost can submit your report to Metro for you so you don't have to make the call yourself.
How do I claim a lost pet at the animal shelter?
Call the St. Louis County Animal Shelter at 314-615-0650 during business hours (weekdays 10 a.m. onwards, check their hours) and describe your pet. They update their found pet database every hour, so check online first. If your pet is there, bring ID and proof of ownership to reclaim them. ReportLost will file a lost pet report with all relevant shelters and groups instantly.
What if I lost something at Lambert Airport?
Contact the Airport Lost & Found at 314-890-1370 (Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–4 p.m., Central Time) or email the TSA at 314-595-0423 for items lost in security areas. Have your flight information and a detailed description of the item ready. Some airlines also keep items left on planes; check with your carrier if it's a phone or wallet.
Should I post on social media or Facebook groups?
Absolutely. Facebook groups like Greater St Louis Missouri Lost & Found Paws and r/StLouis are monitored by active locals who often help reunite people with lost items. However, managing multiple posts and checking daily is tedious. When you report with ReportLost, we post to these channels for you and keep your report active so you don't have to.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We're not part of the Crestwood Police Department or city government, but we route your report to them and other relevant services. Filing a report with ReportLost does not replace filing an official police report; rather, we make sure your information reaches the right places faster and stays in the search loop longer. For items lost in crimes or with legal implications, you should file an official police report as well.
