How ReportLost works for Kirkwood residents
You report your loss
Tell us what you've lost, where, and when. We gather the details we need to route to the right Kirkwood and St. Louis County offices in one go.
We route it to the right channels
Your report goes to Kirkwood Police, Metro Transit lost & found if applicable, local Facebook groups, and other recovery resources across the St. Louis area, all in parallel.
Your report keeps searching
While you move forward, your report stays active for your entire search period, matching new found items, marketplace posts, and community alerts. You get an alert the moment we spot a credible match.
Where items turn up in Kirkwood
Know your recovery options. ReportLost handles the routing.
Kirkwood Police Department
Kirkwood Police is your first stop for lost items found in the city or on city property. We generate the exact description to include in your report and tell you which precinct covers your loss location.
Kirkwood City Hall
Kirkwood City Hall can direct you to the right department for items lost at municipal facilities or on city grounds. We point you to the right desk so you don't have to repeat your story.
Metro Transit Lost & Found
Items left on Metro buses serving Kirkwood are held at Metro's central lost & found office. We handle contacting Metro's customer service with your specifics so they know exactly what to look for.
St. Louis Lambert International Airport
If your loss happened at Lambert, the Airport Police Department's lost & found office handles recovery. We help you file with the right terminal location and TSA if needed.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a dog or cat in Kirkwood, time is critical. Local shelters, STL Lost Pets, and the Humane Society of Missouri coordinate searches, but you need to notify them all at once. File a priority lost pet report

Report your loss now, then take a breath
The sooner you submit a report, the faster your information reaches the right people and starts matching with found items. Once your report is in ReportLost's system, our team handles the outreach and monitoring, so you can step back and let the search work for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Kirkwood can be frustrating, especially when you're not sure which channel to contact first. Police, city services, transit, and local online groups all handle found items separately, and they don't always talk to each other. By the time you've called around and posted everywhere yourself, you've lost hours and the window for recovery gets narrower.
ReportLost takes that burden off your shoulders. One form, one submission, and we immediately notify Kirkwood Police, relevant St. Louis County departments, Metro Transit, and community channels on your behalf. Then, your report stays active and searching for a match throughout your entire recovery period (12 months), so you can focus on your day instead of refreshing Facebook groups and websites.

How long will Kirkwood Police hold a found item?

Your ReportLost report stays active during your entire search period (12 months). When someone posts a found item matching your description, or a local organization alerts us to a match, you'll get notified right away so you can claim it.
Is ReportLost official or run by Kirkwood Police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with Kirkwood Police or any government agency. We work alongside official channels, not instead of them.
