Where to report a lost item in Warrenton
Whether you go the direct route or use ReportLost, here's how Warrenton's lost and found system works.
Warrenton Police Department
The police department accepts reports of lost items at their office on West Booneslick Road. They can advise on next steps depending on what was lost and where. We handle the contact and routing for you, so you know exactly which details matter.
City Hall & Administrative Services
City Hall is your hub for lost items in public areas and can redirect you to the right department. They're open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. We generate the exact information you'll need and ensure your report reaches the right desk.
Animal Control & Lost Pets
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Warrenton, Animal Control is your first call. They maintain a found animals list and can check with local rescues. Report lost and found pets directly to their office. Learn more by filing a priority lost pet report with ReportLost.
Community & Social Channels
Warrenton residents actively post found items and lost pet alerts on local Facebook groups and community boards. These channels move fast, and neighbors often reunite lost items and pets within hours. We make sure your report reaches these groups automatically, so the community knows to look for your item.

The sooner your report is filed and distributed, the sooner Warrenton's services and community can help. Once it's in the system, your search is actively working for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Warrenton sends you in circles. A wallet disappears at a shop downtown, a pet goes missing near the neighborhoods, keys fall out somewhere between City Hall and the transit stop. Each lost item means contacting the police, checking with animal control if it's a pet, scrolling through community Facebook groups, and hoping the person who finds it knows where to post. Warrenton's services work well, but they operate separately, and without a unified report, you're doing the legwork.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report covers all the right channels at once, and crucially, your report doesn't stop searching after you file it. It stays active and monitors new found item activity across Warrenton's systems and social channels for up to a year, alerting you the moment someone reports finding something matching yours. This means you can move forward instead of refreshing pages every day.

Questions about losing and finding items in Warrenton
What should I do if I lose my wallet or purse in Warrenton?
Check with nearby businesses first if you know where you lost it. Then file a police report with Warrenton Police Department (636-456-3535) so it's officially documented. Post in local Facebook groups, and contact City Hall if it was lost in a public building. A ReportLost report ensures all channels get notified at once and keeps searching on your behalf.
How long does Warrenton Animal Control keep found pets?
Contact Animal Control directly at 636-456-8707 to ask about holding periods for found animals. They work with local rescues like No Time to Spare Animal Rescue and Sanctuary. The sooner you report a lost pet, the better your chances of a match.
Where should I report a lost item from a city bus?
Contact the transit center or call the bus company's lost and found line. Post on community social channels as well. ReportLost alerts both the transit system and local community groups simultaneously.
Can I report a lost item to Warren County Sheriff instead of Warrenton Police?
Yes. Warren County Sheriff Department is at 104 West Main St., Suite A, and their office number is 636-456-4332. For emergencies, call 911. Depending on where your item was lost, one may have jurisdiction over the other. ReportLost helps you identify the right agency based on your loss location.
How long will ReportLost search for my item?
Your report stays active for either 12 months, depending on the search duration you choose. During that entire time, your report continues to match against new found item posts and notifications, so you get alerted if a match surfaces. You're not refreshing pages yourself; the search is happening in the background for you.
Is ReportLost.org an official city service?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside Warrenton's official channels. We contact the police, animal control, and community groups on your behalf and keep your report actively searching. We don't replace these services; we connect you to them more efficiently and ensure your search keeps going. We're separate from the city but focused entirely on helping you and connecting you to the right local services.
