How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture all the details needed to reach the right people and post to the right channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Valley Park Police Department, St. Louis County authorities where needed, local shelters if it's a pet, and the social networks where people post found items in the area.
Your report keeps searching for you
For 12 months, your signalment remains active and continues to match against new found items, posts, and listings. You get alerted the moment a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to check Facebook groups and shelters yourself every day.
Where lost items go in Valley Park

Ready to take action?
The sooner you file a report, the faster we can notify local authorities and post to social networks. Once your report is active, you can focus on your day while our system works to reconnect you with your lost item.
Report my lost item →In Valley Park, lost items end up in different places: some reach the police department, others turn up at local shops or community centers, and still others get posted across Facebook groups and Reddit by neighbors who found them. Without a single coordinated system, it's easy for your wallet, phone, ring, or beloved pet to slip through the cracks while you're scrambling to contact each place separately.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report activates a network of Valley Park and St. Louis County resources and keeps your search running automatically for months. Instead of calling the police, then City Hall, then checking social media daily, you file once and let our system cross-reference new found items against your description. It's the shortcut that gives you back your peace of mind.
