City Hall
City Hall coordinates lost and found efforts for items left in city buildings or facilities. They can also direct you to the right department if your loss happened in a municipal space. We notify them of your report and help you connect with the right desk.
Fredericktown Regional Airport
If you lost your phone, bag, keys, or other items at or around the A. Paul Vance Fredericktown Regional Airport, contact them directly. They hold unclaimed items and work with travelers to reunite them with their belongings.

Frequently asked questions
How long will Fredericktown Police hold onto a found item?
Policies vary by type of item. Contact the Fredericktown Police Department at (573) 783-3660 to ask about the specific holding period for your item. Electronics and wallets are sometimes held longer than personal effects.
Should I file a police report if I lost my wallet or phone?
Yes. Even if theft isn't suspected, filing a report creates an official record and gets your loss into the police department's found items system. Call (573) 783-3660 to file a report in person or by phone.
Where do I claim an item that's been found?
Check with the Fredericktown Police Department first, then City Hall. Both maintain lost and found sections. The airport also holds items if your loss happened there. We'll guide you on which office to contact based on where your item went missing.
Do the Facebook groups and Nextdoor actually help recover lost items?
Yes. The Fredericktown, Mo Animal Lost and Found group and local Nextdoor communities have strong track records of helping residents reunite with lost belongings. That's why we post your report there and why staying active in those groups boosts your chances.
How long does ReportLost keep my report active?
Your report stays active for either 12 months, depending on your selection. During that entire period, we monitor new found-item posts and listings, automatically cross-check them against your description, and alert you if a credible match turns up. You won't have to check back repeatedly.
Is ReportLost.org an official service, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not a replacement for them. We file and route your report to the Fredericktown Police Department, City Hall, and other authorities, and we keep your report active in community and marketplace searches. You're still encouraged to contact the police and local offices directly, especially for urgent losses.
