Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, ring, or other valued item in Ladue can feel overwhelming, especially when you're not sure where to start. Between the Ladue Police Department, City Hall, Metro Transit (if you used the bus), and St. Louis Lambert Airport (if your loss happened during travel), the lost & found system is fragmented across separate offices, each with its own procedures and hold times.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. You file one report with us, and we take it from there, notifying all the right local channels and posting your item details to community networks where people actively report found items. The key difference: your report doesn't disappear after a week or a month. It stays active for months, automatically crosschecking against new found listings so you don't have to re-post or re-call every few days. Once you've reported, you can focus on your day while we keep searching on your behalf.
