Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We ask just enough detail to help reunite you with your belongings, whether it's a purse, phone, bracelet, or anything else.
We route it to the right places
We contact Maplewood Police, local transit lost and found, and share your report with relevant social networks and community groups so the right people know to look for your item.
Your report keeps searching for a match
While you go on with your day, your active report continues to cross-check new found items, marketplace posts, and community posts for 12 months. We alert you the moment a credible match appears.
Where to report a lost item in Maplewood
These are the official channels you can contact directly. ReportLost does this work for you, but here's what each office handles.
Maplewood Police Department
File a lost item report with Maplewood Police if you lost something in a public space, on the street, or at a local business. They maintain a lost and found database and coordinate with nearby departments. We generate the right information to include and file it on your behalf.
Metro Transit Lost & Found
If you left your phone, bag, or keys on a Metro bus or nearby transit facility, contact Metro Transit directly. They store found items and reunite them with riders. We tell you exactly how to describe your item and which Metro office to contact based on where you lost it.
St. Louis Lambert International Airport
Lost your wallet or glasses at the airport? The Airport Police Department operates a dedicated lost and found in Terminal 1. They also coordinate with TSA and individual shops. We help you identify which terminal or checkpoint to report to.
Maplewood City Hall
City Hall can direct you to the right department for lost items turned in at municipal facilities or connected to city services. Call during business hours (Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM).
Lost Pet Services
If you've lost a dog or cat, local shelters and the Humane Society of Missouri maintain searchable databases of found animals updated hourly. Time is critical with lost pets, so getting the word out fast matters. File a priority lost pet report to reach shelters and rescue networks immediately.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Stop checking multiple sites every day
The sooner you file a report, the sooner your item enters active recovery. Your report will be seen by the right people in Maplewood, and then it will keep searching for you automatically across all the places lost items turn up.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Maplewood can mean making calls to the police department, checking with Metro Transit, reaching out to individual businesses, and scrolling through Facebook groups all separately. Each channel operates on its own timeline, and if you miss a post or forget to follow up, your lost item stays lost. The problem isn't lack of help, it's fragmentation: the right person might find your ring or wallet, but they post it in a group you didn't see, or they turn it in to a lost and found office that doesn't reach out to you.
ReportLost simplifies this. You file one report with us, and we funnel it to the Maplewood Police Department, Metro Transit, airport services, and active community channels. Better yet, your report remains active and searchable for your entire recovery window, matching incoming found reports and community posts automatically so you're not refreshing sites daily. Once you've reported, you can breathe, we take it from there.
