How ReportLost works in Rolla
You describe what you lost
Tell us about your item, where you lost it in Rolla, and how to contact you. Whether it's a wallet dropped near downtown, a ring left at a local shop, or a pet missing from your neighborhood, we gather the details that matter.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Rolla Police Department, City Hall services, the Animal Shelter if needed, and relevant community groups. We generate the exact information each office needs, so you don't have to call around.
Your report keeps searching automatically
While you go about your day, your report stays active across local channels and social networks for 12 months. We match your description against new found items posted online, so you get an alert the moment a credible match appears, without checking every group yourself.
Where lost items end up in Rolla
Report lost items directly to these offices, or let us coordinate for you
Rolla Police Department
The Rolla Police Department handles lost and stolen property reports. Items found in public spaces or turned in by citizens are logged here. We identify the precinct covering your loss location and file your report with the right desk, including all relevant details.
City of Rolla
Rolla's City Hall can direct you to the right department for your loss, from police services to public spaces. If an item was found and turned in to a city office or business, City Hall can help you trace it. We point you to the exact contact and department for your situation.
Rolla National Airport

Lost something on a CONNECT Rolla bus? The transit office tracks items turned in by drivers and passengers. Call at least 60 minutes after your trip. We help you provide the exact bus route and time to speed up the search.
Lost Pets
If your cat or dog went missing, Rolla Animal Shelter is the first place to check, and local lost pet groups are vital. The shelter holds found animals and can cross-reference your pet's description. We connect you to both the shelter and community groups, and your search stays active across all channels.

The sooner you report, the sooner we start searching
Reporting your loss now means your description reaches the right Rolla offices today and stays active across community channels for months to come. Once submitted, you can breathe easy. The search continues in the background while you focus on your day.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Rolla can feel scattered. A wallet might turn up at the police station, a purse at a downtown business, a lost dog with the Animal Shelter. Each office operates separately, each social group has its own rhythm. Calling and posting everywhere takes hours and happens only once, if you remember.
ReportLost simplifies the chaos. One report reaches the Rolla Police Department, City Hall, the Animal Shelter, and active local community channels all at once. Then the search continues quietly in the background for months, matching your description against new found items automatically, so your report doesn't go stale after the first week.
